ᐅ Controlled residential ventilation: Placement of supply and exhaust air in my designs

Created on: 12 Oct 2020 00:03

Hello,

could you please review our plans regarding the supply and exhaust air locations?

I’m quite overwhelmed. Visually, the vents don’t look good at all, but they have to go somewhere. What is the most elegant way to solve this?

Do you think this layout is good?

At first glance, the supply air position in the living room (ground floor open plan, left side) stands out. The sofa will be placed directly underneath it...

Also, on the upper floor, there are three supply air vents on the floor. I find that rather unattractive and I’m concerned it might be inconvenient for cleaning.

Is it possible to simply change these floor vents on the upper floor to ceiling vents, or would that involve significant additional costs?

I would appreciate your feedback.

Thank you in advance!

You won’t see much difference. It doesn’t really matter if a valve is 1 meter (3.3 feet) to the left or 1 meter (3.3 feet) to the right. Mistakes usually happen with the pipe diameters.

Okay, good. Then it really isn’t my fault since I’m not the one deciding the diameters. But in the living room, we actually had it moved about 3 meters (10 feet), not just 1 meter (3.3 feet).

Is the design done by the architect or does it come from the equipment manufacturer?

The architect only has limited expertise in this area. Usually, this is handled by an MEP engineer. Whether they are from the manufacturer, the general contractor, the architect, or someone else is not really important.

Ah, ok. Our architect is at least relocating the valves for us. But it’s good that there isn’t much that can go wrong with that...
