Hello everyone,
I am currently planning the construction of my new house (the old house will be demolished in August).
I work for six months each year on weekends in a forested area. As a result of thinning the forest, I receive about 20-40 cubic meters of wood annually, which should more than cover my needs.
For ecological reasons, I plan to avoid using fossil energy sources completely in my new house.
Now about my project:
The house will have approximately 160m² (1722 sq ft) of living space plus a large open-air space.
The open-air space will be located in the living room, along with the planned tiled stove.
The entire house will be equipped with underfloor heating and energy recovery through mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
In the basement, a small pellet heating system will serve as the central heating. The building’s energy demand is expected not to exceed 50-60 kWh per square meter annually.
Since the pellet heating system is connected to a 1000-liter (264 gallons) stratified buffer tank, I am considering connecting the tiled stove to this system as well.
This means the tiled stove’s excess heat will be distributed via the mechanical ventilation system. Additionally, the water heat exchanger will supply energy to the buffer tank and the underfloor heating.
During summer, the buffer tank water will be heated exclusively by solar thermal and pellet heating.
Most of the electricity will be generated by photovoltaic panels.
What do you think of this concept, and do you see any concerns (including economic considerations)?
Do you have any additional ideas or tips?
Which stove inserts have you had experience with?
Is there anything I might have overlooked?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Guan-di
