Hello,
I will try to get straight to the point.
Can someone briefly explain the differences between what I would call "prefabricated wooden houses," like Scanhaus Marlow, Danwood, Massahaus, etc., and wooden houses from networks like 81fünf that promote traditional carpentry companies from the local region?
What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Thank you very much.

My thought was partly that a "real" wooden house can only be a Canadian log cabin. You really don’t want to know what wall thicknesses would be required to comply with energy saving regulations. Solid wood — especially when transported over long distances — isn’t exactly eco-friendly sustainable; it’s more for people who drive an SUV to the farm shop. Instead of building with solid wood, there is a growing trend toward "mass timber," which, to put it bluntly, is somewhat like “pressed wood blocks,” but at least it is more environmentally sustainable. Recently, I even read a mention here about using beetle-killed wood, which in my opinion is a great idea.

After 10 years (that’s what I was told, we’re not there yet) the air distribution boxes should be cleaned. See here: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/bauleistungsbeschreibung-gu.36121/page-7#post-427273 — I’m not hopeful, as the deposits accumulated steadily in the hub.

Ventilation is always possible. If you prefer not to, then build without it.
Our system switches off intermittently during the day in summer to avoid bringing warm air into the house. It gets stuffy quickly, not warm though. A single airing is no longer sufficient.
Maintenance so far involves cleaning or replacing the filters in the system 4-5 times a year, changing the cassette twice, cleaning the exhaust air filters about every 6 weeks, and vacuuming the floor outlets twice a year. The ducts are still clean after 2.5 years—at least as far as can be seen. Friends have to clean much less. They live in a new housing development on a cul-de-sac, while our house faces the main road and is backed by our private woodland. We are also allowed to clean the gutters four times a year.

Instead of solid wood, "mass timber" construction is increasingly common nowadays.P.S.: However, mass timber construction is still used by a minority of (mostly smaller) prefabricated house builders. The classic prefab house is made from timber frame panels—that is, wall panels where the spaces between the "studs" are filled with insulation. Over the past two decades, the quality of these materials has improved significantly, especially regarding building biology. In this respect, you get a better house compared to external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), but compared to monolithic masonry construction, it is at best roughly equivalent.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

T_im_Norden17 Aug 2020 16:17You definitely need some kind of ventilation.
If you want a ground-source heat pump with a horizontal ground collector, you will probably also want a basement waterproofing system.
So your goal is to use as little energy as possible.
In that case, a controlled ventilation system with heat recovery is, in my opinion, essential.
Especially with low energy consumption, the share of, for example, hot water or ventilation losses in the total energy use increases significantly.

...Yesterday I spoke with "our" master carpenter (who will help build our house). He also mentioned that currently there is more availability of beetlewood (bark beetle wood), and because of that, prices have even dropped. Maybe our roof structure will be made from it in October.

knalltüte17 Aug 2020 17:05If you’re already installing a brine heat pump and solar panels on the roof, why not take the full step and go for KfW40(+) standards and benefit from substantial subsidies? The only thing missing is the controlled mechanical ventilation that you’re not quite comfortable with...
As far as I remember, everyone who has one doesn’t want to be without it, while those who don’t are skeptical.
