I cannot generally agree with the statement to always install an enthalpy heat exchanger in controlled residential ventilation systems. It depends on the primarily used building materials (concrete, Ytong, clay, brick, +/- ETICS, etc.), the residents (especially the number plays a role due to moisture input) and the habits of the users (e.g. no dryer in the house because laundry is hung up). Also, with none of the devices I know can the humidity be adjusted, so you cannot regulate it independently of the air volume flow; it could become too humid in the house if the above-mentioned aspects already tend in that direction. You may also initially have problems getting the moisture out of a new building. The technical system should always be adapted to the overall situation of the future residents.I still see people installing controlled residential ventilation systems without enthalpy heat exchangers. Please don’t do that, in winter it gets too dry.
