Comfort dream in the heart of Ireland

When building new, it should be as energy efficient as possible and definitely in harmony with the environment. This is exactly what the family who found their new home in County Laois, Ireland, wanted. With the right partner by their side, it's actually a breeze. Together with the installer HeatDoc. and our long-standing Variotherm consultant Peter Sullivan, all potentials were tapped.

New construction in harmony with the environment.

Two boreholes, each around 200m deep, enable passive cooling in summer and energy efficient heating in winter. To allow the heat pump to operate with the lowest possible flow temperatures, all existing floor and wall surfaces were activated.

One Wall - Two Systems

The typical construction method of the Irish Midlands made the use of different heating and cooling systems necessary. A special feature is certainly the mix of screed and drywall construction for heating and cooling on one and the same wall. While our plastered EasyFlexWall is mounted in the lower part of the wall, the upper part relies on the ModularWall.

Simple Installation

The reasons for this are obvious: In some areas of the house, bricks were used for construction, while in others, wood was used:

- In solid masonry, the VarioRails are simply attached to the wall. The easily bendable and dimensionally stable VarioProFile Pipes snap in easily. EcoHeatingPlaster is used for plastering.

- The Variotherm Wall Heating/Cooling in Drywall Construction is a flexible panel system and is mounted ready-made on the wall and roof slope. The VarioModular-Pipe is already integrated.

In a further step, an Underfloor Heating is also installed. Nothing now stands in the way of a thermally comfortable living room climate.
