Building type E: Simply constructed. Safely ventilated.
Finally, simpler construction: Building type E promises fewer complex standards and lower construction costs. However, it is important to note that building physics cannot be negotiated away. Discover how decentralized ventilation technology can help you navigate the fine line between maximum savings and reliable building protection. We show you how to make user behavior calculable and protect your properties from moisture damage in the long term.
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 indoor air quality throughout the home while also helping to save energy. Thanks to automatic air exchange, windows can remain closed, allowing the heat generated by the heating system to stay inside the room. To take advantage of these and other benefits of a modern ventilation system, it is important to consider key factors when selecting the right ventilation technology.
Ventilating your cellar properly: Put an end to damp and mould
A musty smell in the basement is often the first warning sign: basement rooms place high demands on adequate ventilation. They are often damp and provide the ideal conditions for mould growth. In basement rooms with little or no insulation in particular, constantly high humidity causes the walls to become damp. Simply opening the windows usually makes the problem worse. We will show you how intelligent basement ventilation from LUNOS works.
A common problem with garages is that high levels of moisture can lead to rust formation. In addition, increased humidity is associated with an increased risk of mold, which, as in living spaces, can damage the building fabric and cause health problems. That is why it is important to ventilate your garage regularly. Find out what you need to know in this article.
Poorly ventilated flats not only smell unpleasant, they also have an increased risk of mould growth. Therefore, it is important to carry out a regular air exchange in order to remove pollutants and moisture. In this article you will learn what is important.
How to Ventilate Properly in Fall and Winter: Tips & Solutions
As the days grow shorter and cooler, the air inside your home changes as well, which is why it’s especially important to ventilate properly to remove moisture and pollutants without losing unnecessary heat and to prevent mold. In this article, we provide basic tips on exactly what to keep in mind when ventilating during the cold season.
How to ventilate properly in summer – tips and solutions
In summer, the heat can quickly build up in our living spaces and cause uncomfortable temperatures. To create a pleasant indoor climate, it is important to ventilate properly.
Fans equipped with the Comfort Board+ 5/VOC with the special VOC sensor have odor detection and automatically ventilate when odors are detected. This ensures a constant feeling of freshness in the bathroom.
If you breathe in deeply and consciously, you can notice a difference between "usual room air" and "fresh air". But what exactly makes this difference?
How to clean decentralised ventilation systems properly
A decentralised ventilation system removes pollutants and moisture from the indoor air and ensures a comfortable and healthy indoor climate. In order for the system to perform this task reliably in the long term, it must be cleaned correctly. In this article, you will learn what is important and which factors must be taken into account.
Saving energy with ventilation and air conditioning systems
For a long time, ventilation and air-conditioning systems were considered the energy guzzlers in the home. Consumers had to dig deep into their pockets for an optimal living climate, and the environment also suffered considerably from the power-hungry devices. Thanks to modern air conditioners and adapted ventilation behaviour, today you can combine pleasant room air conditioning with efficiency and the conservation of our resources.
Our ventilation units provide people around the world with fresh air all day long. That's why it's important to do something for them and take care of your ventilation units from time to time. Since this doesn't take much time at all, we recommend scheduling maintenance every now and then. In this article, we explain the best way to do this.

The Energy Labelling Directive 2010/30/EU, which was adopted in 2010 and replaced the old EU Framework Directive 92/75/EEC, is intended to make an important contribution to increasing energy efficiency in Europe. This EU regulation on the minimum efficiency of ventilation systems came into force on November 26, 2014.
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."
The different types of air according to DIN EN 12792
In building services engineering, distinguishing between different types of air is of central importance, as it contributes significantly to ensuring an optimal indoor climate. In the following article, we explain the different types of air and exactly how they differ.
Requirements for ventilation concepts in residential buildings
The comfort of living spaces depends to a large extent on the quality of the air. For example, air with a high CO2 content can cause fatigue and headaches, while air enriched with pollutants can even lead to long-term damage to health. Accordingly, it is important to develop an individual ventilation concept that suits the rooms and their users. This article explains which aspects need to be taken into account.
The most important facts about indoor guide values
In the course of the coronavirus pandemic, the issue of indoor air quality has increasingly become the focus of public attention. This is mainly due to the fact that airborne aerosols are one of the main carriers of viruses such as COVID-19. However, aerosols also pose health risks beyond this, for example when carcinogenic chemical compounds attach to them.
Interesting facts about sound and sound insulation
In this article, we explain in detail what is meant by the so-called standard sound level difference, why it is so important to distinguish precisely between different types of sound in the field of building services engineering, and what needs to be considered when positioning ventilation units.
