Hello,
I have now received the first draft of the ventilation layout plan from the professional. He designed on-floor flat ducts (so far, I haven’t found any solid disadvantages compared to in-floor round ducts).
In the basement and ground floor, air supply and exhaust outlets are planned in the ceiling, which is not a problem.
In the attic, however, he does not want to do this because the ducts would have to run through the uninsulated/ unheated attic, which could cause condensation inside the duct system—this would not be good.
Therefore, the supply and exhaust outlets will be installed in the walls. Exhaust air at 2.20 m (7 ft 3 in) height, supply air at 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in) height.
These are planned, as shown in the attachment, nicely positioned in the corner, which I think would create an optimal airflow path.
However, beds are often placed in corners. Having a bed in front of the supply air outlet sounds rather impractical. Firstly, because the opening would be blocked by the bed, and secondly, because it would cause a draft while lying in bed.
Wardrobes will go along the long free walls. The two windows in the cross gable are floor-to-ceiling, the others are half-height windows. I understand that under the half-height windows a desk is often placed, allowing a good view outside. The latter is definitely a debatable point, but I don’t want to discuss it at length.
In my opinion, the exhaust air outlet at 2.20 m (7 ft 3 in) height can stay in the bed corner since I sleep low and wouldn’t notice it.
The issue mainly concerns the two children’s rooms. Here I was thinking that the supply air outlets could either be placed right next to each of the floor-to-ceiling windows or in the wall between the two children’s rooms.
What are your ideas and concerns about this?
Do you see the condensation (dew point) issue differently? I still believe that having supply and exhaust outlets in the ceiling would be the nicest solution.
Thank you very much.
