Hello everyone,
I need your help. We are planning a semi-detached house with 2 full stories and technical equipment in the attic space (most likely a heat pump, gas condensing boiler, controlled ventilation system with heat recovery, and air conditioning). Due to the floor plan, there is no other option. The rooms below the technical area are bedrooms. Access to the attic will probably only be via a retractable ladder.
Now I am concerned about access to the technical equipment, especially in case of replacement, as well as noise insulation.
I know it’s not ideal. My question is whether any of you have experience with such a setup and can offer me some advice.
Thanks and best regards,
Andreas

Hi,
our utility room is now located directly adjacent to the house
(the original plan had a 1.5 m (5 feet) gap from the house).
The wall will, of course, be insulated, but significantly less than the rest
of the house. The total wall thickness is 21 cm (8 inches). It will be built
as a timber frame construction with mineral wool insulation and plaster finish.
(The north wall will have brick cladding since it borders a pedestrian and bicycle path.)
I believe regulations require water and electrical connections to be frost-proof.
That could probably be done more simply if necessary. Thank you!!
