How do decentral ventilation systems work?
Unlike central ventilation systems, decentral ventilation units operate independently within individual rooms. Compact units are installed directly through an external wall to supply fresh outdoor air, extract stale indoor air or provide balanced ventilation with heat recovery, depending on the application.
Each unit continuously refreshes the indoor environment by removing moisture, odours and pollutants while introducing clean outdoor air. Heat recovery versions transfer warmth from the extracted air to the incoming fresh air, improving energy efficiency without compromising indoor comfort.
This room-by-room approach offers greater installation flexibility and allows ventilation to be tailored to the specific requirements of each space.
When is decentral ventilation the right solution?
Decentral ventilation is particularly suitable where installing a central ducted ventilation system is difficult or unnecessary.
Typical applications include:
- Renovation, refurbishment and retrofit projects.
- Existing homes where installing ductwork is impractical.
- Home extensions or converted spaces.
- Individual rooms requiring independent ventilation.
- Smaller residential or light commercial buildings.
Its compact design and straightforward installation make decentral ventilation an effective solution for projects where preserving the existing building structure is important.
