MakeNBreak22 May 2022 13:23Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding the placement of the supply air vents in the ventilation system. In the ground floor and basement, the ventilation ducts are installed in the ceiling. On the upper floor, however, there is no suspended ceiling above the bedrooms due to the pitched roof, resulting in high rooms. The idea was to run the ventilation ducts in an installation plane parallel to the roof to maintain these high ceilings.
What wasn’t taken into account is the ring beam! Now we cannot (or only with difficulty) run the ducts directly beneath the roof into the bedrooms. Lowering the ceiling by half a meter or even fully (parallel to the floor) is not an option for me, as it would ruin the nice high rooms…
Would it be possible to position the supply air vents next to the door or the bed (see plan marked in red)? Although this position is not ideal, since the whole room should be evenly ventilated, the vents blow air into the room. I therefore don’t think the fresh air would be immediately drawn out through the door. Positioning the vent directly over the bed is also not perfect, but since the vent doesn’t blow straight down but rather into the room, it might still work.
To give a clearer idea, below in blue is the originally planned vent position. In red is the new position without the installation plane (two versions: to the right or left of the door).
Thank you for your responses.

We will get back to you once we have the next floor plan. But this time from the architect. That was two and a half years ago. What has happened since then? Do we already know "the whole house" regarding this question from the previous thread?

MakeNBreak22 May 2022 13:40Yes, a lot has happened. No, the house was not discussed in the forum.
At that time, however, we did the only right thing and hired an architect who designed our house custom-made for our plot.

Benutzer 100122 May 2022 13:43I also have the valves for our granny flat installed in the wall.
Why not just place them in the screed?

MakeNBreak22 May 2022 14:05We want to avoid having the valves in the floor. I already proposed this solution during the initial planning. We received advice against it from various sources.
The wall position is generally not a problem. However, it would be the same wall where the door is located, through which the air is extracted again (exhaust air in the bathroom).

What speaks against it?
Above the bed or next to the door doesn’t sound very good.
