The house is now standing, it is the first house built of our new prefab modular kit houses available across Canada and the US. you can see a full break down of themechanical systems, energy performance and total carbon footprint on this page here -
There have been Legalett air-heated floors across Canada and the U.S. since the mid-70s, and even longer in Sweden where the company originated, so there is nothing new there; it's the addition of the solar air panels that is new at this point. We expect to see about 60-70 % of the heat load but we won't know for sure until the winter of 2020 - 2021 when they are in full operation.
Thanks for the reply. I noticed this new demo house is 2 stories. Is the Legalett system also supplying radiant air heating for the second story? Or is there a supplemental heating system for floor #2?
