ᐅ Balanced ventilation system in an open-plan kitchen and living area

Hello,
with a controlled ventilation system, fresh air should ideally enter the bedroom and living area. Exhaust air is typically removed through the kitchen and bathroom.
Does anyone have experience with whether the air distribution of a controlled ventilation system is sufficient in an open-plan kitchen adjoining the living area?
Are cooking odors effectively extracted, or is a sufficiently large recirculation range hood necessary?
Does anyone have tips to consider during the planning stage, as we are currently designing a new build?
Thank you very much for any input.

Yes, it’s possible, but you’ll need a sensor on the window so that the ventilation hood only turns on when the window is tilted open.

Check with your chimney sweep about this.

Is it possible to use an extractor hood with an external vent when a central mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery is installed? Of course, only during times of "disproportionate odor generation."
Rather unlikely. If using an exhaust hood, it should also function as a permanent exhaust element!

Best regards

Somewhat pointless! If, for example, an RLU wood stove is installed in the room, this can be avoided with a balanced or slightly positive pressure controlled ventilation system ; -)
However, salespeople often claim the opposite!
