Underfloor Heating
Example installation:
This 254m2 open-plan house is heated by an underfloor heating system operating with a brine water heat pump, to which two geo-thermal probes (each down to a depth of 95 metres) are attached. In addition, solar collectors on the roof feed additional heat into a 400 litre DHW cylinder.
The power consumption is a mere 6,000 kWh per annum.
Underfloor heating is far from a new concept. Roman dwellings were constructed with voids through which air, warmed by an open fire, would pass, thus heating the structure.
Underfloor heating is not a new concept in this country either. Utilising today’s modern multilayer pipes, control systems and high efficiency boilers, modern underfloor heating systems are extremely comfortable and controllable. Because radiators are no longer needed, living space is freer. Heat is more evenly distributed and dust is minimized.
