Hello everyone,
I have a question about my planned construction project (~250m² (2700 sq ft) of living space).
I would like to include a central residential ventilation system... how much space should I plan for this, or how much room will I lose?
Is 1.5 x 1.5 m (5 x 5 ft) enough?

The ventilation unit usually has a footprint of about 80x60cm (31x24 inches) and requires roughly 1 meter (3.3 feet) in height when the ducts extend at 90°, and you can hang it up high. Piping and the distribution manifold under the ceiling will likely need around 25-30cm (10-12 inches) in height. So, with the planned ceiling height of 2.8 meters (9.2 feet), there should still be space to place a washing machine or similar underneath.
