Our landlords had this brilliant idea with the basement outside the thermal envelope too (before the house was built) ... end of the story: always cold, always damp, they covered the costs for the dehumidifier and we fools had to empty it constantly ... neither a fan to the outside (decentralized) nor any expensive climate boards could solve the problem ... shoes in boxes all got moldy ... Why do you want to do that?Is it possible to connect the basement to the controlled residential ventilation unit without heating it? So a utility basement, outside the thermal envelope, with central ventilation? Theoretically, you would then have to bypass the heat recovery. Then you would save the operation of the dehumidifier and still have fresh air. However, with controlled residential ventilation bypassing the heat recovery, you would probably need two different circuits because the living space and basement have different requirements regarding the dew point. An alternative might then be decentralized ventilation systems that can be controlled by the dew point, right? Two of them installed in the basement. But then you would mix central and decentralized again. Or is it all nonsense?
