Nowadays, there are numerous system solutions for heating, cooling, ventilation and generating electricity in new buildings. Before making concrete plans, building owners should find out about the realistic options. After all, Viessmann's integrated range of solutions offers numerous benefits, such as increased self-sufficiency in relation to electricity providers, or fully comprehensive energy management of all systems from a single source. However, there are also regulations and requirements to be observed when planning and undertaking a building project. The following sections therefore provide you with an overview of our system solutions for new buildings and the specifics of what you need to consider.

Viessmann solutions for new build: can be expanded to create complete systems

A newly built house is more than the sum of its parts. It offers comfort, practicality and a home for life. Viessmann's expectations of the system components in our heating, cooling, ventilation and power-generating technology are similar. The focus is not only on the individual components, but also on their integration and ability to be expanded into a balanced whole. In this respect, new buildings lend themselves particularly well to the installation of complete systems: thanks to Viessmann system solutions for new build, you benefit from greater reliability, flexibility and efficiency.

The aforementioned Viessmann solution and system concept encompasses all areas that make an energy efficient new building what it is: a climate-friendly living space with the best possible quality of life for current and future generations. From highly efficient heat pumps such as our latest generation of Vitocal; appliances for combined heat and power generation such as the micro CHP unit, i.e. the Vitovalor fuel cell; the extensive portfolio of boilers for logs and pellets in the Vitoligno range; or our solutions for solar thermal and photovoltaics with the Vitocharge VX3 power storage unit. In addition, the central and decentralised Vitovent ventilation systems with heat recovery are part of the complete range of solutions for new buildings.

ViCare app –– the "energy cockpit" for tablet and smartphone

The only thing you need to monitor and control the systems in your new build is the ViCare app from Viessmann. Your energy cockpit provides a clear and simple overview of all household energy flows. If you wish, your contractor can also access the data. This enables them to constantly monitor the status of your system, without having to make unnecessary site visits.
