ᐅ Ventilation system in summer?

Hello everyone,
I’ve heard different opinions about this. What do you do with the ventilation system in summer, turn it off or leave it running?
In the past few days, when it was warm outside, I noticed that heat was also coming in through the ventilation system. The supply air was about 24°C (75°F) even though the outside temperature was around 28°C (82°F), so it’s no surprise the house gets warm.

How do you handle this?

Hello,

I prefer not to consult a construction blog when it comes to basic physical principles. Could you provide a link to a decentralized mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery that has a heat recovery efficiency of 0.9? If the data sheet is available, I would gladly reconsider my opinion.

Wow, now the source isn’t good enough for a forum discussion ... but 90% is normal if you look at the datasheets, and no one here mentioned decentralization. In my opinion, these things are mostly a marketing gimmick anyway, and I don’t really understand why anyone would buy a central system without a bypass. Controlled residential ventilation is supposed to provide comfort, after all, and even a manual bypass would be unacceptable to me.

Of course, I’m talking about a central system. This is about new construction, right?

You are welcome to keep your opinion; my intention here was just to clarify the physical basics for those who are interested. Some time ago, I worked through all the calculations myself on how controlled residential ventilation, thermal capacity, heating and cooling capacities, cooling through underfloor heating, heating through radiation, shading, and so on actually work – and the calculation above is just a small excerpt.

Grym, what does your current plan look like? I understand you’re thinking of aerated concrete and gas heating, right?

I couldn’t quickly find any datasheet showing 90%. Why start a discussion based on half-knowledge when it can be addressed correctly from a physical standpoint? And of course, the original poster was referring to a decentralized system. Anyway, I don’t expect much else from you besides opinions and personal views. If you disregard solid evidence, it’s natural to rely on amateur blogs instead.

Poor research.

Then why not bring up the expertise of Prof. Dr. Someone? That would benefit us all.

Aha. It’s not mentioned anywhere. On the contrary, the original poster spoke of “the system.”

And from you, I only get online Tourette’s.

You’ve already made your choice. Why the passion? Grym’s source isn’t flawless either — the guy is happy to save a few pennies in electricity with his clever control of the mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system. Had he chosen one with heat recovery, this would be a minor issue and he could have saved a lot of drilling. So what? And whatever you say about Grym, he tends to waver, but he engages with the topic and doesn’t seem ignorant; he can explain things clearly. Considering you deliberately and consciously decided against mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, I wonder what your contribution to this thread could be.
