Good evening,
we are building a house (are in the preliminary design phase) and I am currently stuck clarifying between the architect (who has never installed a controlled residential ventilation system - but is otherwise great) and the heating engineer and have a comprehension problem regarding the floor construction with controlled residential ventilation:
As I understood the heating engineer there are 3 options:
Option 1 is: With a 20cm concrete ceiling, the 63mm pipe disappears completely in the concrete ceiling. On top of that comes a 15cm build-up as planned by the architect. Impact sound insulation, underfloor heating, etc.
Option 2 is concrete ceiling (20cm) and then in the 20cm above (instead of the planned 15cm build-up) 63mm pipes, plus underfloor heating, etc.
Option 3: too expensive because flat ducts = not doing that.
Or are option 1 and 2 the same and I definitely need 20cm concrete ceiling + 20cm build-up...
Additional question/note: At the end of the day, it is advisable in the ground floor with the large rooms anyway to increase the floor-to-floor height (top of floor to top of floor) to 275 and be on the safe side...
Thank you very much
