We have received the plan showing where the exhaust air (red, wall) and supply air vents (blue, floor) are supposed to be installed, and now we have some questions.
We are building a bungalow (without a basement) with two living units. The main apartment will be ventilated by the LWZ (Stiebel Eltron 5 CS Premium), and the second apartment by the Zehnder ComfoAir Q350.
The plan shows the exhaust air vents on the walls at a height of 2.36 m (7 ft 9 in) in rooms with a ceiling height of 2.60 m (8 ft 6 in), and the supply air vents in the floor.
In the attached image, I have marked the exhaust vents in red and the supply vents in blue.
Who is familiar with this topic and can give us some advice?
1) In the utility room, neither supply nor exhaust air is planned. Does it make sense to include both there? (For example, due to humid laundry, etc.)
2) In storage rooms, which is more appropriate – supply or exhaust air?
3) Some positions on the current plan bother us (for instance, because kitchen cabinets or a closed seating bench will be in the way). What should be considered when placing the vents?
4) Is there any reason against having exhaust air in the dressing room? (For example, could this cause kitchen odors to be drawn into the dressing room?)
5) Should the supply air come better from the ceiling rather than the floor?
6) Is it just a coincidence that the number of exhaust and supply air vents is the same per living unit? Or do they always have to be equal?
7) In the distant future, we want to connect the two living-dining areas (a structural wall opening is already planned during the build) and reduce the size of the left apartment. This would mean one supply air vent of the Zehnder system will move into the area controlled by the Stiebel Eltron system (and thus be missing from the “Zehnder apartment”). Will that be problematic?
I would appreciate it if you could share your knowledge with me!

- Depends on what you turn off, but it probably doesn’t matter.
- Then they should be changed. It’s usually best to place them as far away from the door as possible to ensure good ventilation.
- No.
- Yeah, I generally find valves from above a bit better.
- They should ideally be the same.
- That could be somewhat problematic.
It somehow looks like they just put one in front of every window...
Hey,
1. We will install an exhaust vent connected to the manifold in the utility room.
2. Exhaust air in the storage rooms.
3. Your plumber will be able to give you the best advice on this.
4. We have exhaust air in the dressing room.
5. Our supply air is located in the ceiling on the ground floor and near the floor on the upper floor.
6. It’s quite similar in our case.
You have planned exhaust air in the kitchen. We have supply air there. Just something I noticed.
