Yes, the controlled residential ventilation system is planned with heat recovery.
And no, don’t misunderstand. The exhaust hood from the kitchen on the ground floor is supposed to go directly out through the kitchen exterior wall by the shortest route. Of course, it should not go up into the attic. My question is only: if I cook downstairs and blow the kitchen air out of the house through the exhaust hood, whether the distance from the ground floor to the attic is enough if I bring the outside air into the attic above the exhaust vent hood. Whether the kitchen odors practically mix enough with the outside air so that I don’t suck the kitchen smells back in through the controlled residential ventilation system.
In the attic, it would be better to go through the gable wall side than through the roof itself, right? Through the attic exterior wall should be considerably cheaper than through the roof itself. The controlled residential ventilation system requires an outside air connection and also an exhaust air connection to the outside. And both simply through the wall of the gable side of the attic.
