Useful tips on all aspects of ventilation

Funding programs for ventilation systems

In order to achieve the defined environmental targets, the state has a great interest in making existing and new buildings more efficient from an energy point of view. This is why owners of existing buildings now benefit from a number of subsidy programs, which are also available for ventilation systems in particular. In this article, we explain who can apply for these subsidies and how much they are.

What to look for when choosing a ventilation system?

Ventilation systems improve the air quality throughout the house and help save energy at the same time.

You enjoy your comfortable temperature in the room and still have fresh air. To benefit from the advantages of a modern ventilation system, you should consider important aspects when choosing the right ventilation technology.

Ventilate correctly

Properly ventilate the basement - this is what matters

When it comes to optimal ventilation and moisture control in a house, unheated basements are often a weak point. This is mainly due to the fact that they are surrounded by the ground and thus warm up much more slowly than the surrounding area. In addition, unheated basements are not integrated into the building insulation, which places special demands on regular ventilation. You can find out what to look out for in this article.

How to properly ventilate your garage

In garages, cars, bicycles, tools and garden equipment are reliably protected against theft, snow and rain. However, a common problem is that a strong influx of moisture can lead to the development of rust. In addition, increased humidity is accompanied by an increased risk of mold, which, as in living spaces, can lead to damage to the building fabric and health problems. Therefore, the garage must also be ventilated regularly. In this article you will learn what is important.

Ventilation regulations in the EnEV

For the purpose of long-term energy savings, modern buildings are designed in a particularly tight construction method that noticeably reduces the escape of heated air. However, since this also eliminates natural ventilation via joints and other openings, the EnEV stipulates that new buildings be constructed "in such a way as to ensure the minimum air exchange required for the purposes of health and heating." Since these statements open up some room for interpretation, the requirements can be met in different ways.
