I’m going to live temporarily near my 3 grandchildren in the west of the country and I might want to be able to come back. Rent is possible for a number of years, maybe 10 or 15.

The thermostat in the downstairs corridor controls the switching on or off of the two infrared panels (each 550 W) iin the downstairs corridor and the second flooer. I set the thermostat at 16.0 °C as the desired temperature for the day and 14 °C for the night. When the temperature falls below the desired temperature, the panels switch on. The smallest room upstairs has an IR panel (270 W) of Irecoheat on the wall and a thermostat is connected to it: Choose your temperature and the panel turns on or off. All other panels and thermostats are from ThermIQ . In the living room there are 2 infrared panels hanging from the ceiling of 1100 W each. Each is connected to both a thermostat and a motion sensor. With a simple rotary thermostat you choose the desired temperature. The motion sensor gives a signal when there is movement. In case of both heat demand and movement, the infrared panel will be switched on. The sensor switches the panel off when there is no more movement. The processes run via a PLC in the basement. about the installation of the panels, and PLC The master bedroom with double bed has no heating options at the moment. In the bathroom there is a radiant heater on the wall above the washbasin. Kitchen, toilet and cellar have no extra heating.
I do like to have some cool areas in the house, especially while I am there. But you can easily set the thermostat differently. (You will need the instructions for this.)
The other small room has an infrared panel (1100 W) connected to the ceiling with a thermostat. Again, there is no sensor. In both rooms you will have to make sure that you lower the thermostat when you leave the room.
Sitting really still for too long is not wise, then you get cold.
A CO2 meter on the table measures the amount of CO2 in the air, displays this as a number. It sounds an alarm if the CO2 concentration exceeds 1400 ppm. In that case you have to turn off the alarm and take one of the following measures.
- Put the WTW in a higher position
- open the door to the hallway
- open a window
Half an hour after switching off the alarm, the CO2 meter measures again and hopefully you have taken adequate measures. Otherwise it will go off again and you will try another measure. A high concentration of CO2 means that there is too little oxygen in the air, which can cause headaches.
What difference does it make if, for example:
- closes the shutters or keeps them open at night (in summer the 3 shutters on the south side really keep out a lot of heat)
- the duette pleated curtains closed versus open (pleated curtains with alu coating in living room south side and bathroom)
- temperature in the hall increases
- cooking method: see Pierre Wind’s tips (discussion by me of Pierre Wind’s eco-kitchen, 2020). The book is in the kitchen.
Ground floor: garden path, entrance hall with coat rack niche and freezer, living room/dining room with electric oven, toilet with hand basin, kitchen with induction hob, fridge, microwave and lots of cupboard space; front garden and backyard with shed Floor: hall, bathroom with shower and toilet, washbasin; 3 bedrooms Basement and roof (roof is not suitable for sitting on and walking on) To take over: double bed; wardrobe in the master bedroom; possibly also the chest of drawers in the master bedroom; also the hanging cupboards in the basement and shelves I want to leave.

There is a high vegetable garden container to sow in yourself.
You can use the shed to grow plants in, after pre-sowing indoors. I did this with tomatoes, pumpkin, courgettes.
I intend to come back to Nijmegen once in a while and then I could maintain the garden; help solve problems.
