Ventomaxx Individual room ventilation: Efficient ventilation solutions for modern construction and renovation projects

Individual room ventilation is an essential factor for modern construction and renovation projects in today’s world, where energy efficiency and sustainability are becoming increasingly important. But what exactly is behind this term and why is it becoming increasingly important? The individual ventilation of rooms offers a number of advantages that benefit building owners as well as architects and specialist planners. In this article, we take a closer look at how it works, the possible applications and the innovative solutions from Ventomaxx in the field of individual room ventilation. Find out how you can not only improve indoor air quality with efficient ventilation systems, but also make a contribution to protecting the environment and reducing energy consumption.

What is individual room ventilation and how does it work?

Individual room ventilation is a ventilation technology that aims to supply each room individually with fresh air without having to use complex and expensive centralised ventilation systems. The air flows in each room can be controlled independently of each other, which enables a high degree of flexibility and adaptability. This is particularly important in modern construction and refurbishment projects, as different room requirements can be taken into account. The functionality of individual room ventilation is generally based on decentralised ventilation systems that are installed in each room and regulate the air supply independently. These ventilation systems can operate either with or without heat recovery, depending on the requirements of the room and the individual preferences of the occupants. Individual room ventilation systems are usually equipped with intelligent controls that allow the air supply to be adjusted as required. For example, this can be controlled by sensors that measure air quality and humidity and regulate the ventilation accordingly. This ensures that rooms are ventilated efficiently and as required, resulting in a pleasant indoor climate and a healthy living and working environment.

Basic principles and mode of operation:

A fan is installed in the outer wall of the respective room and ensures the removal of stale air to the outside and the supply of fresh air from outside.
These systems often work with sensors that automatically regulate the air exchange depending on the humidity or CO2 content of the room air.

Difference to centralised ventilation:

Individual room ventilation systems do not require complex duct installations and are therefore easier to retrofit.
They offer flexible control, as each room can be ventilated individually.

Advantages: Particularly in existing buildings where a centralised ventilation system cannot be retrofitted, individual room ventilation systems offer an efficient and cost-effective alternative. The solution also offers architects and planners great flexibility, as it works independently of centralised systems and can be easily integrated into existing room concepts. Individual room ventilation thus offers a modern and customised solution for air circulation in buildings that improves both comfort and energy efficiency. The individual controllability of the ventilation in each room means that residents can take their personal preferences into account and at the same time make a contribution to sustainability by only ventilating where it is really necessary.

Types of individual room ventilation

Individual room ventilation is an efficient solution for meeting individual room requirements in terms of air quality and comfort. There are different types of individual room ventilation systems that are tailored to different requirements. 1. exhaust air systems:

Exhaust air systems extract stale air from a room and lead it outside.
Continuous air exchange ensures good air quality.

Ventomaxx extract air fans are characterised by their high performance and low-noise operation, ideal for use in living and working environments. Flexible in installation and customisable, decentralised systems from Ventomaxx offer an efficient solution for different room sizes and requirements. These systems can be easily integrated into existing building structures and ensure needs-based ventilation. 2. supply air systems:

Supply air systems channel fresh air into the room from outside and ensure a controlled supply.
This ensures adequate ventilation without the need to open windows.

With the AIR CONTROL series, Ventomaxx offers one of the most comprehensive product ranges of fresh air diffusers (ALD) on the market. Thanks to the fully modular concept, there are almost no limits to the possible applications. 3. combined systems:

Combined single room ventilation systems utilise both extract air and supply air components to achieve optimum air circulation.
By combining both systems, efficient air quality and energy savings are achieved.

New buildings vs. refurbishments: New buildings: In modern energy-efficient new builds, individual room ventilation is often used for targeted ventilation of areas such as bedrooms or bathrooms in order to optimise energy consumption. Refurbishments: In the energy-efficient refurbishment of old buildings, single-room ventilation offers the advantage that it can be installed without extensive structural alterations. For example, windowless bathrooms or kitchens can be retrofitted.

Typical areas of application: Individual room ventilation is very popular in various areas of application due to its flexibility and efficiency. In modern residential and commercial properties, single-room ventilation is used in a wide range of applications. In residential buildings, it is particularly suitable for ventilating bedrooms, living rooms and bathrooms in order to ensure individual and demand-orientated air circulation. Individual room ventilation can be customised to the requirements of each room, resulting in a high level of comfort for the occupants.

In office buildings and public facilities, individual room ventilation offers the possibility of optimising the air quality in individual offices, meeting rooms or classrooms without having to ventilate the entire building. This results in a more efficient and targeted air supply that is tailored to the specific requirements of the individual rooms. Even in historic buildings or refurbishment projects, individual room ventilation proves to be a practical solution. Thanks to the decentralised design of the ventilation systems, effective ventilation solutions can also be implemented in older buildings without having to carry out extensive conversion work. This makes it possible to preserve the historical charm and building fabric while creating a pleasant indoor climate.

Planning aspects for architects and specialist planners

When planning individual room ventilation systems, architects and specialist planners are faced with various challenges and tasks. One of the central planning aspects is the integration of the ventilation systems into the architectural design of the building. Individual room ventilation systems should be integrated into the rooms in an unobtrusive and aesthetically pleasing manner in order to ensure a harmonious overall appearance. Another important planning aspect is the correct dimensioning of the ventilation systems. Architects and specialist planners must ensure that the fans provide the required air performance to guarantee optimum air quality in the rooms. Selecting the right air volume flows and taking individual room requirements into account are crucial here. Individual room ventilation systems must also comply with legal regulations and standards. Architects and specialist planners must ensure that the planned ventilation solutions fulfil all relevant building regulations and meet the technical requirements. DIN 1946-6 regulates the ventilation of living spaces in Germany and requires the creation of a ventilation concept for modern, energy-efficient buildings. Single-room ventilation systems are an excellent option for fulfilling the requirements of this standard. The Building Energy Act (GEG) in turn sets strict requirements for the energy efficiency of buildings. Single-room ventilation systems with heat recovery help to fulfil these requirements by reducing the heating load and increasing energy efficiency. Careful planning of individual room ventilation systems is essential to ensure an efficient and sustainable solution. By working closely with experienced ventilation experts such as Ventomaxx, architects and specialist planners can ensure that their ventilation concepts are optimally implemented and meet the requirements of the building owners.

Individual room ventilation and heat recovery

Individual room ventilation in combination with heat recovery is an efficient solution for providing fresh air in individual rooms and saving energy at the same time. With this innovative ventilation system, the stale air is extracted and the fresh outside air is preheated by recovering the heat from the exhaust air. Technically, they are based on a heat exchanger that transfers the heat from the extract air to the fresh air before it enters the room. Heat recovery allows a large proportion of the heat energy that would normally be lost via the exhaust air to be utilised efficiently. This leads to a reduction in heating costs and an overall energy-efficient solution. Individual room ventilation with heat recovery is particularly suitable for modern construction and renovation projects where a high value is placed on energy efficiency and comfort. The individual controllability of the ventilation in each room ensures optimum air quality and a pleasant indoor climate. At Ventomaxx, you will find innovative decentralised ventilation systems that are specially designed to meet the requirements of individual room ventilation. With a high-quality heat recovery function, these systems offer not only comfort, but also a sustainable and forward-looking solution for your building projects.

They stand for high-quality, decentralised ventilation comfort with extremely energy-efficient heat recovery and far above-average protection against external noise. In new buildings, the integration of single-room ventilation systems is usually easier, as the planning can be taken into account from the outset. In existing buildings, integration can be more complex, especially if there is no suitable infrastructure. However, modular systems and retrofit solutions can be used here, which can be flexibly adapted to the circumstances. The combination of individual room ventilation and heat recovery is therefore an ideal way to master the balancing act between air quality, energy efficiency and comfort. By using modern technologies, you can fully utilise the benefits of an efficient ventilation solution and make a contribution to environmental protection at the same time.
