Ventilation in prefab houses (wood frame with ETICS) also in solid houses?

We also don't have an oven. My winter experience among acquaintances who have a small (Swedish) stove in the living room is as follows: at 25 degrees in the living room the fun stops - even more so near the stove. I am sometimes glad when it's finally time to go home - out into the pleasant sub-zero temperatures - with a wet shirt/T-shirt (of course under the jacket). Such small stoves are often "misused" based on experience, not only to heat the living room - with such consequences, at least for the male faction (I am not the only one)

For the few (transitional) days a year when a small stove might be nice, we have saved ourselves the fireplace and chimney sweeper visits.

Best regards

The similar temperature in the rooms of a new building is not due to a controlled residential ventilation system but rather the good exterior envelope. A controlled residential ventilation system influences the temperature by at most 0.5-1°C. The energy transportable by the air is far too low to create a noticeable temperature balance between the rooms with controlled residential ventilation. Just as in old buildings, where some rooms are warm and others cool, this is simply no longer achievable in new buildings. A 2°C difference between rooms is already quite an effort!!

I can absolutely confirm that. There are situations when a wood stove would indeed be nice, but I can count those on one hand per year. I also know from acquaintances that such a small stove is just annoying. Most of these stoves are way too big, and apparently when buying, the rule is: the more kW the better. The result is that you can hardly use the thing because otherwise you burn up in the living room.

All kinds of people have tried to convince me that I need a stove in my new building. For what reason? So that I spend countless Saturdays chopping wood? So that I build a shed to store the stuff? So that I can line the pockets of the chimney sweep twice a year?

If you really factor in everything, from storage to the chimney sweep, there is almost nothing less economical than such a wood stove for the living room.

I’m not talking about a tiled stove or a well-thought-out wood heating system, but rather these classic soapstone stoves that you can get for little money at any hardware store.

Honestly, anyone who brings something like that into their house is usually just punished by it.

If a wood stove, then it must match the heating requirements of the house and harmonize with the rest of the heating and ventilation technology.

Getting such a cheap piece from the hardware store just to have a stove here is really mostly money thrown away...

Right! And you have to get used to it first. At least that was the case for me. When we moved into our KfW 40 house a year ago, it was quite an adjustment. You were simply used to the bedroom always being a few degrees cooler than, for example, the kitchen or the living room. Such temperature differences are no longer possible in a new building.

But to briefly return to the controlled residential ventilation system: I find it to be a gain in comfort. The air is always fresh, the indoor climate very pleasant (I cannot complain about air that is too dry), and when you look at the filters and see what does not swirl around in the indoor air, you gladly pay the money for an annual filter change...

Same here!
