Hello dear builders and professionals!
I thought I could install whatever I wanted in my KW40 to be built, as long as the energy requirements were met. But apparently, I am mistaken. When I asked whether the desired range hood with exhaust function in SUMMER (=hybrid control) could still be accommodated, I received the negative indication that this project is basically "not accepted."
Of course, this disappointed me, as I did not expect the manufacturer to refuse this question at all. At least as long as the KW40 certification had not yet been calculated. The refusal is not justified energetically, but technically. A range hood allegedly extracts much more ("8000m³/h") from the house than the controlled ventilation (besides which a window would have been tilted) could supply again. Regardless of the fact that the hood I favor "only" delivers 1,100m³ (others don’t deliver more either, at least none non-commercial), the argument is that the ventilation system suffers from it. A call to the hood manufacturer revealed, as expected, that the hood has a two-wire cable that temporarily switches off the controlled residential ventilation when the exhaust is used.
I have not presented this fact yet because I also had the impression that there is no real interest in a technical solution. It is apparently an effort to deal with it, and the outcome of the attempt is apparently too uncertain for the manufacturer. It is a Bavarian prefabricated house manufacturer.
Does anyone have reliable facts on this topic? Has anyone already installed a hybrid hood in a KW40 house? I am currently inquiring with the controlled residential ventilation manufacturer whether their motors can be deactivated via the mentioned cable.
Thanks for your tip!
