Hello everyone!
Our ventilation system (Zehnder) is installed in the attic.
The attic is insulated with 160mm (6 inches) of compressed mineral wool.
The ceiling below is also insulated, I believe with 240mm (9.5 inches) of compressed mineral wool.
The DN75 (3-inch) pipes running from the ventilation system to the rooms are simply laid on the roof boarding.
Do these pipes need to be insulated?
The attic is NOT heated. The rooms below, of course, are heated...
Our plumber says that the pipes do not need to be insulated.
What do you think?

@Golfi90 why did you insulate both the roof and the floor ceiling? Wouldn’t just one be enough?The general contractor extended the thermal envelope up to the top floor ceiling. Since we decided fairly late to move the heating and ventilation system to the attic, we insulated the roof ourselves as an additional measure.
