Pretty much modern central heating - be it wood pellets, oil, gas, ... - augmented by heat exchangers (drawing heat from ground is better than from the air, but either helps).

Oh sure, you can also convert electricity to heat with nearly 100% efficiency, but that has its inefficiency long before it gets to your house... and you'll feel dat electricity bill.

PS: Insulation first.

Good, but possibly too high an investment cost if done alone for one house and as standalone heating system.

Some places will require a lot of bureaucracy to allow any deeper probe into the ground, and heat pumps are certainly more interesting with ground probes than on environmental air because they have much higher efficiency due to the bigger temperature differential.

Realistically, not going so deep with the heat pipe is often simpler and cheaper for individual households, but then you typically "only" meet 50-90% or so of your heating needs - you'll run an oil / gas / wood / solar / (...) heating for the rest.

It's still going to be an investment, but so is any decent heating. Pic semi-related - neat high efficiency pellet heating.

Moar insulation. Your body produces like 200W of heat. Your cooking place probably also adds like 2kW when it's being used. Maybe you also get some warmth from appliances.

Probably not enough for the whole house, but easily enough for a decently insulated room.

If you can, build a modest house to like German / Swiss low energy standards and you should actually even be quite fine without any or barely any kind of extra heating (thermal pump, solar water heating, ...).

If you can't afford it and are like in the USA, you'll have to build a more winter-ready small insulated (probably mostly wooden) shack.

You can probably erect this quite easily with the lax building regulation most places have.

Until then it's probably tent-in-house time or something like that.

Exterior looks are comfy, but these windows and probably walls look like no insulation ones.

You need to change something about that, or it will likely leak heat like this whole building.

Still might be warmer than what you're living in right now, but you can relatively easily do much better - yes, a house with the livable dimension of that one is something you can keep warm with just your body heat.

In an *actually* nicely insulated room, you don't really need to wear anything but normal clothes, and could even be barefoot.

200W body warmth (plus sunlight, appliances, ...) isn't that little if it accumulates- it is enough to warm the oxygen you periodically need to let inside and then some.

Sure, when you make the room as big as a house or have poor insulation, you will have trouble with that, and will need some extra tricks. Whether you then use heat exchangers on the incoming air or pump warmth from the ground or heat it conventionally is up to you.

That house in >>51413481 only uses 13kW extra heat per square meter annually.

Pic here uses nothing extra (the standard allows solar heating and < 15 kWh/m2a from biomass, it does solar), but I don't think you can have these outside of Switzerland, Germany and Austria so far.

> but I don't think you can have these outside of Switzerland, Germany and Austria so far.
Let me clarify - I mean this for big houses like the one depicted. They're currently state-of-the-art, unlike the more relaxed Minergie-P houses of which we have thousands now, Minergie-A houses are rare, maybe a dozen or two until now, and only in the last 3 years. Same with corresponding standards in Germany.

You *can* DIY a very small house (or small interior room in a house) with strong insulation that requires very little to no extra energy, just not likely a full big house like that one that meets a shit ton of requirements.

The regular swiss building code is more like the equivalent to the current energy star.

Minergie has high standards, rather than what everyone in the industry can quite easily achieve. Wouldn't be something that makes us demanding swissfags feel good otherwise.

Besides, some rivalry with Germany, as usual. They also have standards, but of course we needed to be better, which is probably really how Minergie-A happened. They didn't have that one at first. :^)

>>51414568
You can achieve a lot with your own insulation. I know 'cause we amateur-retrofitted two roofs with more modern materials (home and holiday home).

Arguably the pros did the windows and other parts, but each step made the houses warmer.

> Atm I wear a modified wool blanket as a poncho. Considering tent in living room as well. I'm going all in
Honestly, I'd really do that. Can't always be freezing your ass off in a poncho. It's annoying to live in a tent most of the time, but ... what can you do? If you have enclosed air and the tent allows you to have the (limited) amount of air exchange you need with the room, it will be warm.

I never really understood how heatsinks worked until I repaired some headphones. I had bought replacement headphone jacks and soldered the wires to it. I learned very quickly that the entire length of the headphone jack absorbed the heat from the soldering iron.

It all makes sense to me now. When a CPU gets hot, the heat spreads out to the heatsink and if you cooldown the heatsink you cool the cpu in the process.
