Hello everyone,
we are planning to build a single-family house with the following specifications:
- one and a half stories
- on a slab foundation
- approximately 125 sqm (1350 sq ft)
- 36cm (14 inches) Ytong blocks (without additional insulation)
- mineral-based exterior plaster
- KfW 70 energy standard
- triple-glazed windows
- heating: gas/solar; underfloor heating throughout the entire house
Regarding a ventilation system, we are unsure about which option would be the most suitable.
Our options are:
- no ventilation system (our builder believes it is not necessary)
- decentralized ventilation system
- decentralized ventilation system with heat recovery
- centralized ventilation system with heat recovery
We have already read a lot on online forums, and the more we read, the more confused and uncertain we become...
Thank you very much in advance for your support!

Hello, I spoke with a construction company yesterday. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to mention the name, but the wall construction consists of polystyrene blocks with a concrete core.
They told me that a ventilation system is MANDATORY to meet the KfW70 standard!?!?
With another construction company using 36.5cm (14.4 inches) Ytong blocks, there was never any mention of a ventilation system!?!
So, what is correct?

Is there anyone who can provide a clear statement on this???
Yes, they do have a CORE.
And what does that mean now? Is there a regulation or requirement?
Putting aside the pros and cons of such a system.

None of it is entirely true or false, because it always depends. Do the expanded polystyrene blocks have a concrete core?
Yes, they do have a CORE.

There is no obligation to install a ventilation system; at least not yet. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not strongly recommended for the wall structure used by the competitor.
