Thanks guys, the house has no heating or cooling just now. So fresh start. I will have to see how the building responds once I get out, etc. I am a a real automation geek, so will employ all the automatic closing of shades, auto dimming glass, etc, to reduce solar gain as much as possible. But very keen to make a comfortable environment as 35 - 45 C is normal in the summer. I will have a PV system also of course to run the ASHP.

Hi all, Been looking at so many posts and information here I am still confused as what is best. I am renovating a large house in Spain and looking, to install UFH and some kind of cooling that does not involve blowing cold air using AC units. I was thinking maybe using cooling in the UFH circuit and maybe even a cooling ceiling? I will be based in Servile where 40C is not uncommon and trying to get the house comfortable. I am an engineer and have experience with UFH here in UK. I read so much about worries of condensation, etc I can deal with that via smart controls etc. But was looking for some feedback on people with these cooling systems in place and do they really work? I will be using MHVR systems also, to circulate and dump air out.
