Why should the Controlled Residential Ventilation be turned off?

For me, it only runs in absence mode at ~70m³/h during hot temperatures. The extraction is naturally not as strong, but I haven't noticed that it would stop working altogether because of that.

If the Controlled Residential Ventilation were completely turned off, logically nothing would be extracted from the toilet either, so it would be as if there were no odor extraction. ;)

However, it should also be said that this is not the only extraction in the toilet/bathroom. There is also the regular grille in the ceiling through which the main part of the exhaust air is extracted, just like in any other house.

Thank you very much Matte, I will pass this on to our controlled residential ventilation builder right away. Do you happen to have one from Zehnder as well?

Well, I think we will have a small sink installed next to the WC. That way it doesn't matter if the large sinks are a bit far from the WC.

Yes, Zehnder Q350 with enthalpy heat exchanger. I would strongly recommend it, as it will prevent you from having no or only minor problems with overly dry air during the cold season.

Why should the controlled residential ventilation be turned off?

In hot temperatures, it runs in my case only in absence mode with ~70m³/h.
Of course, the extraction is not quite as strong then, but I have not been able to determine that it wouldn't work at all because of that.

If the controlled residential ventilation were completely turned off, logically nothing would be extracted in the toilet either, so it would be as if the odor extraction did not exist. ;)

However, one should also say that this is not the only extraction in the toilet/bathroom. There is also the regular grille in the ceiling through which the main part of the exhaust air is extracted, as in any other house.

TCO 2.5 from Tecalor or LWZ 604 from Stiebel Eltron has a summer bypass and sets itself to 0 as soon as the outside air is more than 1 degree warmer than the indoor temperature for more than 1 hour and then switches back on when the outside air temperature equals the indoor air temperature. Currently, it does not run during the day.

Since the walls of the WC and shower are still being moved, the floor-to-ceiling window at the top left will be eliminated in this form. Either it must become narrower or disappear entirely. The dead corner at the top right is also very annoying.

Once the shower and WC are set, one could also complete the ever-popular T. For this, a double door as a window in the middle, and the bathtub could be framed with furniture opposite.

The bathroom door would have to be relocated. Since the hallway is not visible, I assume that this is possible.

Just to show alternatives.

Thank you Katja,
that would be a very good idea, I could get used to the "all-time popular" T-layout.
I've just seen it too often already, so I simply don't like it anymore.

Moreover, the steam shower is a "prefabricated unit" – i.e. doors etc. cannot be moved, and a T-solution would cover the door.

The door to the bathroom should stay where it is.

I've attached an alternative, please forgive me – I quickly made it in Word.
Not much has changed.... hmm
