 This heating concept automatically implies extremely low energy consumption. After all, **using the fresh ventilation air for heating without an additional heating system can only work in buildings with very low net heat losses**. This requires an excellent insulation of the building envelope – especially in cold climates to keep the desired warmth inside the building, but also in hot climates to keep undesirable heat out. The calculation of the energy balance will help determine the level of insulation that will be required in a given building and climate.\\ This heating concept automatically implies extremely low energy consumption.
