Ventilation Systems

Decentralised Ventilation

Decentralised systems organise air exchange on a room or dwelling basis. They can be a practical alternative where an extensive central duct network is not planned.

Concept visualisation
Operating principle

Air exchange directly at room or dwelling level.

Depending on the design, decentralised systems use coordinated alternating units or separate supply and extract air paths within one unit. The right architecture depends on the building, acoustics, filtration needs, outdoor conditions and maintenance.

Room-based

Units are located close to the respective room or dwelling.

No extensive duct network

Installation effort can be lower than with a central distribution network.

Heat recovery

Depending on the system, extract-air heat can be used to temper the supply air.

Filtered supply air

Filtration and service access must match local pollution and use conditions.

Applications

Where decentralised ventilation can make sense.

Renovation & existing buildings

Where retrofitting a central duct network would require substantial structural intervention.

Residential construction

Where repeatable dwelling types need a clear installation and maintenance logic.

Compact units

For example apartments, student housing, assisted living or modular units.

Individual use zones

Where selected rooms or areas require targeted controlled ventilation.

Residential construction

Repeatable solutions need project-ready details.

Residential projects involve more than airflow and heat recovery. Façade appearance, acoustics, power supply, installation sequence, filter replacement and operating responsibilities must be clarified early.

Technical selection

Six points determine suitability.

The technical platform has to match the actual application. CADOVEX therefore looks beyond the product brochure.

01

Airflow

Volume flow, operating levels and system balance.

02

Acoustics

Sound in the room, at the façade and between dwelling units.

03

Frost & condensate

Operating strategy at low outdoor temperatures and humidity.

04

Filtration

Filter class, pressure drop, service life and supply.

05

Controls

Operation, sensors, connectivity and fault behaviour.

06

Maintenance

Access, spare parts, cleaning and recurring service.
