Decentralised Ventilation

Fresh air without a central duct network.

Decentralised ventilation supplies individual rooms or dwellings through compact building-integrated units. It can be relevant where short air paths, modular planning and direct maintenance access are required.

Operating principle

Ventilate room by room or dwelling by dwelling.

Outdoor and exhaust air are routed through the building envelope. Depending on the system, units operate individually, in pairs or as a coordinated group. Heat recovery, filtration and controls are integrated into the system architecture.

  • Short air paths and compact installation
  • Suitable for repeatable room and dwelling types
  • Specific areas can be addressed individually
  • Filters and service parts remain accessible
Applications

Where decentralised concepts can be relevant.

01

New construction

Early integration into facade, electrical planning and dwelling concept.

02

Renovation

Retrofit with limited intervention in the existing building.

03

Multi-family buildings

Repeatable solutions for similar layouts and dwelling units.

04

Individual rooms

Targeted consideration of bedrooms, living rooms or workspaces.

05

Temporary living

Concepts for apartments, residences and comparable uses.

06

Modular construction

Integration into prefabricated or serial building elements.

Technical requirements

Details determine suitability.

≋

Air paths

Supply, extract and transfer air need coherent planning.

◌

Sound

Unit, facade and room acoustics need to be considered together.

❄

Frost & condensate

Winter operation and moisture management require early attention.

◇

Filters & maintenance

Define filter class, replacement interval and access.

Specific product selection

Specifications and model information are assessed against the actual application, available evidence and agreed requirements.

Assess decentralised ventilation for a specific building.

Building type, rooms, facade and operating conditions determine the suitable solution.
