Infrared heating in a wooden house
Vitramo infrared heating and an efficiency house in solid wood or timber frame design are a perfect match. Even in houses with a heating requirement of less than 30 kWh/m², it is no longer a question of how much heat to supply to the room, b
ut whether heat is needed at all. Inert water-bearing heat delivery systems are already ruled out as components for this low demand due to their poor controllability. In addition, water-bearing heating systems only work particularly efficiently in continuous operation. A boiler quickly reaches its limits in partial load operation due to the low volume flows. Better, on the other hand, are small-format Vitramo heating elements evenly distributed on the ceiling or wall, which quickly heat the inner envelope surface by means of radiation when required, while only supplying the room with as much heat as is absolutely necessary for people to feel comfortable in it.
The back of the Vitramo infrared heater is effectively thermally insulated and completed by an aluminium cover that also encloses the sides. This means that it can also be installed on a wooden ceiling. In new buildings, care should be taken to ensure that the wooden panels are dry and, if possible, contain only a very low level of residual moisture. The heating element is mounted at a minimum distance of 180 cm from the floor.
Can infrared heating with electricity be approved and is it economical?
The low heating requirements of efficiency houses, the low purchase costs and the eligibility for subsidies of the technical system concept make a rethink on the subject of infrared heating possible, sensible and attractive. In combination with a photovoltaic system, a domestic hot water heat pump or, alternatively, instantaneous water heaters and controlled ventilation with heat recovery, the Vitramo infrared heating system already wins the overall heating cost comparison in residential buildings according to the KfW Efficiency House Standard 55.
Thought through to the end from the very beginning!
