11% higher efficiency for heat pumps in old buildings without inertia
Quickly reacting surface heating systems in drywall construction make this possible.
Retrofitting a surface heating system is easier than you think. | The IDEAL surface heating system is suitable for subsequent installations in floors, walls and ceilings in private homes, commercial properties and public buildings.
It is undisputed that the efficiency of heat pumps depends on the heating water temperature of the entire system. For economical operation, it requires surface heating instead of classic radiators to enlarge the heating surfaces in the room so that the heating water temperatures can be reduced. IDEAL system also offer additional energy saving potential compared to slow-moving screed underfloor heating systems , which enable rapid heating up and down: heating only when heating is necessary. As a result, modern surface heating on the floor, wall or ceiling saves up to 11% energy in old buildings, as a study by ITG Dresden shows.
IDEAL CLASSIC EPS 30 system consists of 30 mm thin insulation elements with factory-applied aluminum heat-conducting plates. In addition to polystyrene, natural insulation materials made from wood fiber and, more recently, straw insulation are also available as carrier materials. The heat-conducting plates ensure high energy efficiency and evenly rapid heat dissipation as they transfer the heat to the entire surface.
The advantages are undisputed: underfloor heating is energy efficient, comfortable and allows for free interior design. With modern surface heating systems such as the IDEAL system, even old buildings can be easily retrofitted with underfloor heating so that heat pumps can work really efficiently during renovation.
IDEAL as a ceiling heater when inhabited.
The option of installing ceiling heating/cooling is a simple but effective solution, especially for energy-related renovations or renovations, if retrofitting underfloor heating is not possible because, for example, a valuable floor covering needs to be preserved or the living situation does not allow the work. The IDEAL ceiling heating can be installed with little structural intervention and can be carried out on both solid ceilings and suspended ceilings. Room by room can be renovated in this way. And it's so clean that the entire renovation project is possible even when the property is inhabited. This means that the conversion can also be carried out over a longer period of time as part of renovation work in preparation for a prospective conversion to a heat pump. The IDEAL surface heating system also works on the ceiling based on the principle of radiant heating. In contrast to conventional convection heating (room air heating), a pleasant heat radiation is generated, which ensures a feel-good climate and a high level of comfort in the room by warming the surrounding surfaces and objects. And the floor is also pleasantly warmed by the heat radiation.
Soothing, gentle coolness, without any side effects
Particularly on the ceiling, the IDEAL surface heating offers a double benefit in conjunction with a heat pump: heating in winter, cooling in summer. Many heat pumps can provide cool water in summer, which then flows through the IDEAL system. The room temperature drops by an average of four to six Kelvin. The cooling is completely silent, without annoying running noises and unpleasant drafts, so the feel-good effect is even better and increases well-being.
With the IDEAL surface heating system, energy-saving system solutions are available:
- Optimizes the performance of your heat pump for maximum efficiency
- Responds lightning fast to improve your comfort
- Highest efficiency and efficiency
- Versatile: Suitable for floors, walls and ceilings
- For private homes, commercial properties and public buildings
- Creates double benefits: pleasant heating in winter and refreshing cooling in summer
- Simply renovate. Benefit multiple times. Even when inhabited.
