    Advanced ventilation systems – more than just air changes

    Advanced ventilation systems safeguard regular air changes without wasting valuable energy. Subject to model, they can even provide DHW and central heating.

    Why is ventilation so important?

    For practical thermal insulation purposes, nowadays, modern homes are so airtight that virtually no energy is lost. Low energy houses in particular have an airtight building envelope primarily to prevent heat losses. This also prevents any natural air change and makes mechanical ventilation essential.
    However, ventilation is also an issue in older homes. As a result of subsequent thermal insulation measures, there is often no longer an adequate supply of outdoor air through gaps and other previously air permeable spots. This creates a conflict of interest between practical thermal insulation and the need for fresh air, which can be resolved with mechanical ventilation systems.

    The increasing impermeability of new buildings and modernised residential dwellings in particular, calls for a continuous air change, for example, in order to avoid the growth of mould fungus and damage to the building. However, ventilation via windows is not very practicable as the sole means of ventilation. To ensure an energy efficient and hygienic minimum air change, ventilation via windows would have to occur four to six times a day for approx. 5 minutes each time. Heating would have to be turned off and windows fully open, making this virtually impossible. Mechanical ventilation systems reliably safeguard the necessary supply of fresh air, as well as energy efficient central heating and DHW.
