ᐅ Extremely dry air caused by ventilation heating – what can we do?

Hello,
I hope someone can offer us some advice.
In 2010, we built a Weberhaus using the so-called Wohlfühlwärmetechnik (comfort heating technology). This involves a Proxxon ventilation heating system with heat recovery from Zimmermann.
Every winter, we have the problem that the indoor air becomes extremely dry. And by extremely, I do not exaggerate. The colder the outside temperature, the drier the air inside. Measurements show humidity levels between 25-35 percent.
As a result, we all suffer from respiratory issues during the winter, to varying degrees. This is especially difficult for the children.
Neither Weberhaus nor Zimmermann have been able to help us with this problem.
Is there anyone here who has had a similar experience and/or a solution?
Are there modules or systems that can be installed to humidify the air?
Regards,
joela

Yes. KfW40 with underfloor heating and an air-to-water heat pump.
Or basically passive house standard for almost the same price, if you find someone to build it for you. Then without a traditional heating system.
Are there any prefabricated house providers that build passive houses? I couldn’t find clear information when I searched online. The level of finish should at least be paint-ready for me...

Both need a central ventilation system.Is a central ventilation system really necessary, or would a decentralized one be sufficient? This is something to consider, especially if you have underfloor heating as well...

Deliverer31 Jan 2022 09:29Decentralized systems should only be used in emergencies and as a retrofit. They are less efficient, louder, require more maintenance, and result in many more holes in the house.
