I already wrote that a general contractor's preference for decentralized systems can indeed also indicate a lack of competence, and I mentioned several "prefabricated" house consultants (Beuler and Freyermuth nationwide as far as I know, Zink probably not quite in Bavaria).

We are not talking about the noise of the devices. That is manageable depending on the device and level (I have some myself). It’s about the fact that the original poster has to take noise protection measures due to noise from outside. And all the openings, of course, are a disaster in that regard.

Read carefully.


Disadvantage, that you have dozens of devices running. Compared to a central system, you also have significantly louder devices (centrally you actually don’t hear anything) with more than just basic ventilation. Regardless, it doesn’t matter at all that you have ducts in the wall/ceiling. Nothing happens to them. Germ breeding grounds are old wives’ tales.

P.S. Of course, you have all electrical, water, and wastewater lines exposed on the surface and not in walls/ceilings, since you never get access to them again? ;)


That question does not arise because controlled residential ventilation is mandatory for the original poster. Otherwise, I agree with you. In new buildings, however, there are no rational reasons to use decentralized devices, since central systems have exclusively advantages in operation.

There are two series. The slightly more expensive one can be programmed and is much better adjustable. I think that is the Q series. I would choose that one.

Our Zehnder Q350TR has been running largely without problems for a few years now and mostly on level one. We don't hear anything, not even when it is set higher. The device is located in the utility room, right next to the kitchen, and there are no noise issues there either. For a while, a lot was reported here about this topic and also about the device; the search function here will help you further. I can warmly recommend the device.
