Hello,
Is there a ventilation system that allows the airflow in the rooms to be easily adjusted?
From our perspective, it makes little sense to constantly exhaust warm air from the bathroom when no one is using it. Therefore, we thought it might be possible to simply reduce the airflow there and then, after showering, press a button to increase the airflow for 30 minutes.
Does anyone know of manufacturers offering systems that can do something like this, or is it not practical?
We also want to have significantly different temperatures within the house, and the ventilation can only distribute one temperature. That would have to be the coldest one, right?
For example, if we extract warm air at 24°C (75°F) from the bathroom and use heat recovery to warm up the outside air to 16°C (61°F) for the pantry temperature, then we would need to add about 8°C (14°F) again via underfloor heating in the bathroom.
That’s why it would make sense for us to reduce airflow there when it’s not necessary.
I hope I was able to clearly explain our concern.

Wouldn't that have to be the coldest one?That will be difficult in a new build. Even though some people say they manage to achieve temperature differences, these are only a few degrees apart.

I wouldn’t install any supply air in the pantry at all.For me, that would make the pantry more of a candidate for exhaust air, while supply air should go to living areas or bedrooms. But in any case, the ventilation system needs to cover all rooms, and since a pantry is probably not an overflow area, it should receive exhaust air.

This happens when the system temporarily sucks in odors from a grill, fireplace, campfire, or farmer spreading slurry on the field. No matter how cleverly you position your air intake, this will occur occasionally depending on wind direction.Have you tried using an activated carbon filter?
Hello,
No, so far we only have F7 filters installed. I’ve also considered adding an extra filter box in the outdoor air intake. However, we only experience this problem very rarely (maybe once every 3 months), so our choice of location for the outdoor air intake seems to have been quite good.
If I ever have a lot of free time and get bored, I might install something like that.
Best regards,
Andreas

Actually, everything has already been said. You have a mosquito/elephant problem.
As someone familiar with vehicles, you probably understand that ventilation systems in cars can only maintain temperatures if they operate continuously. The same applies to houses.
Furthermore, even in cars, large temperature differences are only possible to a limited extent. This also reflects the capabilities of controlled mechanical ventilation systems in homes.
This is all very rough and not directly transferable, but I think it helps to understand how they work.
