Hello everyone,
Our basement is partially built into a slope. At the rear, this creates three basement rooms, where the central unit of the controlled residential ventilation system is also located.
The rooms are not heated. Each room has a basement window.
Is it common or advisable to supply fresh air ducts to the basement rooms as well?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

We also moved into a KfW-55 house in October and have installed controlled mechanical ventilation in the basement as well. We hang laundry in the utility/laundry room and don’t have any issues with humidity in any of the rooms. Thanks to the insulated floor slab, temperatures never drop below 15°C (59°F), mainly due to the exhaust air from the heating room and the air mixing in the stairwell. I would build it the same way again, as ventilating through the small basement windows would be quite inconvenient for me.
