Hello experts!

We have received the plan showing where the exhaust air (red, wall) and supply air vents (blue, floor) should be placed, and now we have some questions.

We are building a bungalow (without a basement) with two residential units. The main apartment is ventilated by the LWZ (Stiebel Eltron 5 CS Premium), the second apartment by the Zehnder ComfoAir Q350.

The planning foresees the exhaust air on the walls at a height of 2.36 m (room height 2.60 m) and the supply air vents in the floor.

In the attached picture, I have shown the exhaust air in red and the supply air vents in blue. Who is familiar with this topic and can give us tips?

1) In the utility room, neither supply nor exhaust air is planned. Does it make sense to include both here? (e.g., because of damp laundry, etc.)

2) What makes more sense in storage rooms – supply or exhaust air?

3) Some positions on the current plan bother us (because, for example, kitchen cabinets or a closed bench will be in the way). What must be considered when placing the outlets?

4) Is there anything against having exhaust air in the dressing room? (e.g., because kitchen odors could then be drawn into the dressing room?)

5) Should the supply air better come from the ceiling rather than the floor?

6) Is it a coincidence that the number of exhaust and supply air vents is the same per residential unit? Or must it always be the same?

7) In the distant future, we want to connect the two living-dining areas (a wall breach is already statically planned during construction) and reduce the size of the left apartment. This means one supply air vent of the Zehnder will move into the area controlled by the Stiebel Eltron (and will thus be missing in the "Zehnder apartment"). Will that be problematic?

I would be happy if you would share your knowledge with me!

    [*]yeah, with us it's just directly on the distribution list
    [*]depends on what you turn off, but probably doesn't matter
    [*]then they should be changed. It usually makes sense to place them as far away from the door as possible to ensure good ventilation
    [*]no
    [*]yeah, I generally find valves from above a bit better
    [*]should be about the same
    [*]could be a bit stupid.

Who planned/calculated the valves?
Somehow looks like just always one in front of every window...

Hey, 1. We are installing an exhaust vent on the distributor in the utility room. 2. Exhaust air in the storage rooms 3. Your plumber can best tell you about that 4. We have exhaust air in the dressing room 5. In our house, the supply air is in the ceiling on the ground floor and on the floor on the upper floor 6. It's relatively the same with us You have planned exhaust air in the kitchen. We have supply air there. Just noticed.

Kitchen and bathrooms should definitely have exhaust air.
