Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:

After May 2015:

And I only switched from controlled residential ventilation ducts to KNX conduits because someone happened to post photos of their KNX conduits in the ongoing discussion.

For controlled residential ventilation, I would—well, to be precise—refer to ducts rather than pipes. KNX is home automation and does not fundamentally use different installation paths than other smart home systems—so the same protective or empty conduits, just with different cables inside.

So what now? Is Selfio’s approach of installing the controlled residential ventilation ducts on the unfinished precast slab (= lower concrete cover and reinforcement without upper concrete cover) and then covering them with concrete (the upper cover) considered unacceptable, or—assuming the structural engineer has no objections—common practice?

If the structural engineer approves, I expect the slab will end up thicker than strictly necessary. From the video example, it looks like there is too much empty space running through the slab. For controlled residential ventilation, I would probably prefer flat ducts; however, those would need to be inserted between the spacers, or they would have to be placed on top. Round ducts, on the other hand, are too tall to be economically installed on the unfinished slab regarding the total slab thickness. The advantage of round ducts is their flexibility—but then we are in the middle of a complex debate. Personally, I am not a fan of controlled residential ventilation and would prefer the decentralized variant (which requires a largely different design).

The parquet flooring is installed. The baseboards are still missing.
