We are building a KFW 55 house, and the heating system will be an air-to-water heat pump.
The underfloor heating has now been installed (according to the heat load calculation).
I am surprised that the distance to the balcony doors is almost 30 cm (12 inches), meaning no pipes were laid in these reveals. Could this cause problems? Thermal bridging? Will I have cold feet when standing there?
Until now, we have always used gas, so sorry if my questions seem basic. However, I have never lived with such a low supply temperature in a new building before.
If this is problematic, then the question is how it can be fixed, since the underfloor heating has already been installed. The question is to what extent it can still be adjusted.
We wanted to be present during the installation, but someone just came by in the evening without notifying us.

Does anyone know the reasoning or a regulation that specifies how this must be done, so I can present it to the contractor?
I’ve dealt with this enough already. I’ll call now and tell him that it belongs in the reveals, and he’ll just say it’s no big deal… that’s how he always does it.
A simple question: from the installer’s perspective, would it be a reasonable amount of effort to change it?
The screed is scheduled for Wednesday. If that gets delayed, I’ll have a completely different problem (weather, winter).
I can’t supervise everywhere; I also have to go to work sometimes. Does nobody do things properly anymore?

You will definitely notice the difference in cold if you stand barefoot in front of the window; the floor there is ice cold. In our house, there are no heating pipes directly under the kitchen island, and before the kitchen was installed, you could clearly feel where the heating pipes ended.

You probably have a calculation of the pipe length, right? I would first measure that, and if it doesn’t match, he can do it again. No, of course I haven’t received it, I will get it first thing on Monday.
