I have a central controlled residential ventilation system with an enthalpy exchanger. Actually, for most people, 3-4 decentralized fans with heat exchangers would be more than enough. Bedroom, bathroom, and utility room (because of condensate). It might cost about 1k instead of 8-11k. My calculation of heat losses was just a quick, rough example. For example, I still like to sleep with the window tilted in winter or briefly air out in the morning. In winter, you also have to be careful with ventilation systems so that the humidity doesn’t drop too much; I know people who only have 30% humidity. But with a controlled residential ventilation system, you are always safe that the masonry is perfectly dry. Independently of the ventilation system, for a new building I would always focus on summer thermal protection rather than the last 2-3% of heating costs.It doesn’t always have to be the luxury version of a central controlled residential ventilation system with an enthalpy exchanger. I can’t quite follow your calculation right now. Over what period are you calculating (per day?) and is the 10 degrees the temperature difference? I can guarantee you that even in mild Konstanz over the winter, the indoor-outdoor temperature difference is well over 15 degrees. Where we are moving to, we have average temperatures below zero from December to February, so more than 20 degrees difference. And then we get completely different values.
