Initial situation:
New construction KFW 55
Two full floors (152 m2)
m2 basement currently not available.
Basement construction in WU concrete will be a utility basement, no living spaces.
The basement is an open basement, meaning no door between ground floor and basement. The insulated building envelope extends from the upper floor ceiling to the basement floor. So the basement is included within the insulated building envelope.
A central ventilation system is to be installed. The unit will be installed in the basement.
Now the question arises whether the basement rooms should be connected to the ventilation system or not.
Does anyone have suggestions about this? How do others handle this? What are the arguments for and against integration? How must basement rooms be ventilated?
It is somewhat cheaper to leave the basement out. But otherwise, we have no ideas. Maybe someone can make the decision easier for us.
Thank you.
