Hello everyone,

Our architect, together with a PLUGGIT technician, has apparently decided on a Pluggit controlled residential ventilation system for our new build: a single-family house of 225 sqm (2,422 sq ft).
Our architect plans to install the air intake on the north side in a "well-ventilated" shed behind the carport.

Does that make sense?

Best regards,
Barossi

Hello,

and why is that? I can imagine it might also cause problems since the air would then be drawn in through the gaps in the shed.

The north side is already correct.

And the architect and Pluggit technician will surely have discussed the amount of air that needs to be supplied. Also: airy shed. Probably semi-open, the shed?

So the solution is certainly not bad, visually good as well, since the shed covers the grille.

Hello,

yes, the Pluggit technician and the architect are in communication. From a practical standpoint, I imagine it to be more complicated:

In the future, you’ll have to consider whether to leave a glass with brush cleaner and a brush or something similar out in the open... because everything will be drawn in from the room :-)

Even quick cutting or milling work will probably end up in the filter, right?

Shed: Larch-clad space, 3 x 3 m (10 x 10 feet).

Most likely the large Pluggit AP460 for the 225 m² (2,422 ft²) with high ceilings.

Best regards, Barossi

Hi Barossi!

If you want to use the shed like that, I wouldn’t recommend placing the air intake there.

You’re absolutely right: paint, dust, and so on would be drawn in (dust in the filter, paint thinner inside the house—not acceptable). You could place the intake there only if it’s purely a storage room for bikes or similar. In a workshop, I don’t think that belongs there.

Still, have the intake installed on the north side. Use the combined supply/exhaust vent from Pluggit. It’s great! It keeps distance from the wall and prevents condensation moisture from the exhaust from seeping into the wall, like what happened with a friend of mine.

I figured with your house size, the AP460 would be used (should be/must be).

Best regards
