Rolf-Peter Strauss | Ventilation – simple and elegant!

This paper presents a semi-central residential ventilation system integrated into the façade around windows. Simple and visually subtle ventilation solutions can be implemented, even under difficult retrofitting conditions. The concept relies on an innovative enthalpy exchanger made of folded paper.

Bernhard Martin | A new ventilation concept for small dwelling units

A satisfactory ventilation solution for small Passive House residential units has been lacking on the market. With its installation location in an outside wall, connections for other rooms, and sensor-controlled demand management, the new freeAir 100 system from bluMartin can meet that need.

G. Rojas-Kopeinig | Cascade ventilation – air exchange efficiency in living rooms without separate supply air inlets and exhaust air outlets

CFD simulations and measurements were used to study whether and to what extent airflow between outlets can short circuit if the outlets lead to a common hallway. Planning tips for expanded cascade ventilation (without fresh air outlets in the living room) were derived from the investigation.

Rainer Pfluger | Heatpipes for frost protection in PH ventilation systems

Large heat recovery systems often use a hydraulic brine circuit for preheating the air for frost protection. To avoid high invest and maintenance costs, the heat pipe principle can be applied. This contribution shows the principle and gives a comparison on efficiency and live cycle costs.

Rainer Lautner | Highly efficient ventilation systems with rotation heat exchanger für Passive House buildings

This paper describes how rotation heat exchangers work and sheds light on planning aspects. Rotors from Lautner Energiespartechnik have heat recovery efficiencies exceeding 90 percent with pressure losses of only 30 Pa. The units cannot freeze up and are therefore highly efficient year-round. The output of heating systems can be reduced in line with the level of heat recovery.
