ᐅ After reviewing the development plan, are noise protection measures necessary?

Hello,
I have completed all the preliminary planning and sent all the documents to the builder.
The builder has determined that, according to the development plan, specific soundproofing measures are required for the plot.
The house upgrade includes a decentralized ventilation system, special soundproof windows, soundproof insulation for the roller shutter boxes, and a noise protection expert.
Of course, with additional costs.
However, I am not very satisfied with the decentralized ventilation system and believe a central ventilation system would be better.
What is your opinion?

Blah blah. Honestly, on level 1, even visitors who have never been here before won't notice it. We are not talking about the noise from the devices themselves. That varies depending on the device and setting (I have some myself). The issue is that the original poster needs to take noise protection measures because of noise from outside. And in that case, all the openings are obviously a disaster.
Please read carefully.

The advantage is I don’t have tens of meters of ventilation duct in the walls or ceiling that I can never access again. The downside is that you have many devices running. Compared to a central system, those devices are also significantly louder (with a central system, you actually don’t hear anything) when running beyond just basic ventilation. Regardless, it doesn’t matter at all that you have ducts in the walls or ceiling. Nothing happens to them. The idea that they harbor germs is just an old wives’ tale.
P.S. Of course, all your electrical wiring, water, and sewage pipes are surface-mounted and not inside walls or ceilings, since you can’t access them there again, right? 😉

Before there’s no ventilation at all due to cost reasons, better this option. This question doesn’t even arise because controlled residential ventilation is mandatory for the original poster. Otherwise, I agree with you. But in new builds, there are no rational reasons to choose decentralized devices, as central systems offer exclusively advantages in operation.

The additional cost from decentralized controlled residential ventilation to centralized controlled residential ventilation is reasonable, and I will likely order the latter.
It is a system by Zehnder.
Is there any useful information about it? There are two series.
The slightly more expensive one can be programmed and is much better adjustable. I believe that is the Q series.
That’s the one I would choose.

The additional cost from decentralized balanced ventilation to centralized balanced ventilation is acceptable, and I will probably order that as well.
It is a system from Zehnder.
Is there any useful information about it? Our Zehnder Q350TR has been running mostly trouble-free for a few years now, usually on setting one. We don’t hear anything, even when it’s set higher. The unit is located in the utility room, right next to the kitchen, and there are no noise issues there either.
There was quite a bit of discussion about this topic and the device here for a while, and the forum’s search function will help you find more information.
I can warmly recommend the unit.
