Hello, we are currently planning our single-family house of 165 m² (1,777 sq ft) in the Sauerland region.
We want to build using 36.5 or 42.5 cm (14.4 or 16.7 inches) hollow bricks without additional insulation, as we are not fans of external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS). Underfloor heating is planned, probably no ventilation system, as it is too expensive.
Since the village is not connected to the natural gas network and we have no basement, therefore no space for, for example, pellet storage, we have to install a heat pump.
A ground source heat pump would cost €4,500 more after deducting the BAFa subsidy compared to an air source heat pump.
I have also often read that heat pumps do not make sense with monolithic construction.
What would you recommend?

E-cars are cool I’d rather say they’re pretty boring, and I’ve driven quite a few. Apart from torque, they don’t offer much. I prefer a nice V6 or V8; you get more out of those.H

After deducting the BAFa subsidy, a ground source heat pump would still cost €4500 (about $4900) more than an air source heat pump.
I’ve also read several times that heat pumps don’t make sense with monolithic construction.
What would you recommend to us? A heat pump can of course be used effectively.
I would be concerned about the performance of an air-to-water heat pump in severe sub-zero temperatures. Therefore, I would prefer a brine (ground source) heat pump. I am especially intrigued by the option with an ice energy storage system, as this—unlike deep geothermal drilling—does not extract energy from the groundwater (which could be potentially harmful to important microorganisms).

I would say rather boring, and I have driven many already. Except for punch, they don’t offer much. I’d prefer a nice V6 or V8, you get more out of it. Due to my professional travel requirements, trains and electric cars are not an option for me. I am personally a petrol-head, torque junkie, and frequent driver. We car enthusiasts are extremely out of date, anachronistic, and poor role models. With “painful downsizing self-discipline” in vehicle choice (inline six instead of V8), I now drive with an average fuel consumption just above 7 liters per 100km (33.6 mpg). To ease my conscience, I buy CO2 certificates to somehow offset our total fuel consumption. Feel free to call me inconsistent—I couldn’t agree more.

You can only travel cheaper by bus. If it doesn’t have to be a Tesla, you’re looking at about €3.50 for 130km (80 miles). At least that’s my experience.Similar topics
