ᐅ Your current heating consumption

I now have some data.

Key points:

KfW 50 standard, 120m2 (1292 sq ft), underfloor heating (no setback or other "optimization"), geothermal energy (deep drilling), values for heating/cooling and hot water. Temperature set everywhere to 22-23°C (72-73°F).

The energy use should actually be lower with KfW 50 and geothermal energy.
What was the heating element used for?

I also find the consumption too high, especially for 120 square meters (1300 square feet). The values from Saruss are, as always, like a dream [emoji4].

I also look at the values with envy. No idea how Saruss manages to achieve those numbers. Either no one takes warm showers, their ancestors come from Greenland, or they cheat somehow, for example with a fireplace.

Yes, I find the values incredibly impressive in a positive way.

So far, we haven’t been able to determine when or why the heating element was used. It hasn’t been used again since the beginning of last year.

Could the relatively high consumption partly be due to the cooling function in summer? Do all geothermal heat pumps have this feature?

In winter, the neurotic compulsion of my better half to ventilate frequently and extensively (no, not because of the temperature) also plays a role.

In winter, my partner’s neurotic habit of airing out the house frequently (no, not because of the temperature) also plays a role.

Active or passive cooling?

Blowing warm air out could of course be a reason. The consumption is really high for the size of the building.

@Saruss
Annual performance factor?

Current gas consumption: 0 kWh per day.[emoji4] We have been heating exclusively with solar energy (including hot water) for about a week now.[emoji4]
