A room wall that is located on the exterior wall of the house is "clad" on the inside with a stud construction using drywall panels (the green ones). These are attached to metal profiles about 6 cm away from the wall. There is glass wool between the walls. Question: Do I need to install ventilation slots here? Basically, the wall is dry.

If the wall is dry, then no ventilation slots are required. Only if the wall shows moisture, then these are strongly recommended. So that it can dry better.

Hey,

I would install ventilation slots, because that can't do any harm. Once moisture occurs, the effort to dry it is much less. Moisture is unpredictable, and if it gets damp, mold can also form there.

Just like SandraHolster, I would also incorporate such slots here. You never know, and moisture can always occur.

I would also install ventilation slots here. I did that afterwards as well and I believe it pays off. My neighbor suddenly had damp walls and it took him quite some time until everything was dry again. Better to take precautions than to have the damage later.

At this point, I am somewhat torn. Why do I have to ventilate this partition wall? Everything here is dry, and there are no pipes running there either. I think this is unnecessary work.
