Hello everyone,
I have an additional bedroom in the basement that is used quite often.
The builder installed exhaust air ventilation there, and in the adjacent storage room, they installed supply air.
1. He says this cannot be reversed anymore (the construction is almost finished).
2. He also says it is not a problem that the two rooms have been switched.
Are both of these statements correct? I would appreciate a prompt response, as I have a meeting with him early tomorrow morning.
Thank you very much for your help.

Such distributor boxes for the ducts should be present in almost every controlled residential ventilation installation, right? Not necessarily, what if the distributor boxes are embedded in concrete along with the duct network in the ceiling, for example?
Then switching is obviously difficult... It was just a spontaneous idea from me, without really knowing much about the possible installations. However, I would definitely get the impossibility of changing the configuration confirmed in writing from the installing company, since you never know if the contractor is fully aware of the actual execution.
Exactly, once it’s been poured or covered with screed, then relocating it will probably be difficult. That would only really be possible in a situation with suspended ceilings, right?
If there’s supply air in the storage room and exhaust air in the bedroom, I wouldn’t have any concerns either. It would be problematic to have supply air in the bathroom and exhaust air in the bedroom, as odors and humid air from showering would then be drawn through the house.
It’s not perfect, but in that setup, it’s not a big deal, in my opinion.

There are many installation options. For example, I don’t have any junction boxes at all. So even if I wanted to change something around, it wouldn’t be possible. But as I said, that’s not an issue as long as it’s ensured that air can flow in from another room. Now, of course, it depends on what the person asking wants to store in the utility room. Harsh cleaning products, the onion supply, the cat litter box, dirty laundry...?Depending on the choice, the bedroom occupant will have to enjoy the smells....
