Hello everyone,
Since I now have to decide which wall or roof penetrations we need to use for the fresh air intake and exhaust air, I am looking into the various options available on the market.
On the north side, we have the possibility to take in fresh air through the gable. The north gable faces the street, so the solution should also look decent.
The idea is to route the exhaust air through the roof, but the south gable can also be used for exhaust air. The south gable faces the garden.
We are building a house on a slope, which means that from the street side you see one full story and the pitched roof with the attic and loft. The heat recovery ventilation unit will be installed in the loft.
So far, I haven’t found a fresh air intake and exhaust air solution that really convinces me.
What have you installed, and what makes sense?
We have a planner for the heat recovery ventilation system, but I want to take a broader look at what is available.
Regards,
Micha

Hi, my controlled mechanical ventilation system will definitely be installed on the ground floor.
Should I route the supply/exhaust air through the roof?
Or should I run it up to the second floor and have it drilled through the walls there?
Is it even possible to seal that properly? (KfW55 or 40 house)
