[QUOTE Currently looking into building a passive house at the moment so everything is on hold until I know one way or another with that. If I do get permission then it seems like the ideal product to use for the heating especially as I would like to fit solar panels as well (costs depending etc)[/QUOTE]
Look to insulate the crap out of it first and orientation (to the sun) for passive solar gain and use well insultated windows. This is easy to do especially on a new build. Once you do this then look at the heating. The more insulted it is, will mean lower heating required. If it is one of the sealed type houses (which is good), then I think you have to look into air ventalation. When you are looking at heating systems make sure the heating engineer has all the necessary u values of the building envelope so the system is tailored to your house. Too many still use standard figures and no. of bedrooms for heating system sizing. (Solar hot water heating is a good way to heat the water). |
