| Miscellaneous: | Note of the editor concerning direct electric rsistance heating: The hating energy demand of this project is extraordinary low (8 kWh/(m²a). So a direct electric resistance heating as provided here might be adequate for this building.
In general we highly recommend NOT to provide heat by direct electric resistance heating, because of the high primary energy efford that is made to produce electricity. In Europe there are meanwhile combined systems for mech. ventilation, heating and domestic hot water preparation available operating with electric heat pumps, that use the exhaust air of the ventilation system as heat source. We hope that these systems will be available soon as well in the US. | |||
