Hello,
I want to run a few cables from the house to the prefabricated garage (excavation work will start soon). For example, power, network, and KNX. On one hand, I’m wondering how to get the cables out of the house (basement) — we are building a KfW40 energy-efficient house — and then how to get them into the garage. Ideally, I would like to use empty conduits.
- At the house: How can the cables be routed out without compromising airtightness and insulation?
- Into the garage: I will be approaching the prefabricated garage underground. How do you get the cables or conduits inside? The prefabricated garage (at least that’s my understanding) is delivered completely finished and placed onto strip foundations.....

I thought the multi-utility connection was only for the network providers. There is also a gas connection on the multi-utility connection—I don’t have gas. Can I repurpose this connection? If I understood you correctly, an empty conduit is run out from it. I would then have this conduit buried, but where exactly should it come out at the garage? Under the garage would be inconvenient because I wouldn’t have access afterward. So, next to it. And then later, once the garage is built, drill holes in the side? That way the cables would be visible. How did you handle this?

motorradsilke23 Mar 2021 20:58The multi-service house entry basically consists of several empty conduits. We do it the same way, running the electrical cable through the conduit that would normally carry the gas connection into the garage.
We routed the following underground cables through the multi-utility connection:
Garage 5x2.5mm² (the cable reel tied to the fence),
Gate and pathway lighting 5x2.5mm²,
Garden sockets 5x2.5mm²,
Data cable 8x0.8mm² for video and door opener.
Estimated length, plus about 5m (16 feet), cut, coiled, and secured to the fence with cable ties.
After construction, everything was completed and connected successfully.
