  We make natural ventilation in the country house with our own hands. Do I need artificial ventilation in a country house or cottage

How nowadays do ventilation in country houses? A hole was made to the street from the bathroom, the fan was installed and ready. Carbon dioxide? Humidity? No, not heard. Therefore, a headache, a breakdown, condensation on the windows, mold and other delights of the lack of fresh air from the street.

Let's figure out how to properly make ventilation in a country house to avoid mold and maintain their health. Let's get started!


  2. So, a modern energy-efficient country house. It is simply unprofitable to build a house with huge heat losses nowadays. One of the features of modern construction is that the houses are completely airtight. And in confined spaces a person is categorically contraindicated, because in the process of life, it emits carbon dioxide, which negatively affects the well-being even in very small doses (only 2.5 times higher concentration than the average street background). You can read more about carbon dioxide.

3. About few ventilation people think about. A fan was installed in the bathroom and enough. And then the surprise begins, why the gas stove, fireplace do not burn well, condensation falls out on the windows, and you see the mold. All this is a consequence of the fact that the concentration of carbon dioxide begins to increase inside the house and the humidity rises (a person exhales steam).

But the biggest joke in another. Suppose you set a fan to blow out of the bathroom. Turned it on. He begins to draw air from the house. And where will the new air in the house come from? Here, look at the video with what effort the front door to the house opens if you leave all the windows closed:

The conclusion is simple - in any home, an influx of fresh air is absolutely necessary. In old houses, the air flow was through the leaks of the walling and, in particular, through leaking window frames. Now everyone puts “warm” plastic double-glazed windows, and they are completely tight.

In principle, in the warm season, you can always keep the windows open, and this is more than enough for full air exchange inside the house. But problems begin in the cold season. After all, the windows are closed so that it is not cold!

4. As you recall, my house is heated by an air heat pump, in other words, a channel air conditioner, which is effective at temperatures up to -20 degrees Celsius. This type of heating provides a minimum of 2.5-fold energy savings for heating. Below is a diagram of the supply ducts laid under the ceiling. Through them hot air is supplied to all rooms. Return air is taken from the floor in the lobby. But this is recycled air! To ensure the flow of fresh air, a separate 125 mm channel is connected to the intake duct from the street (indicated in green in the diagram), and exhaust air is discharged through the channel in the bathroom (an exhaust hood from the kitchen is connected to it - indicated in gray).

Such a scheme is functional only in the warm season. As soon as freezing occurs on the supply air duct, icy street air will be sucked into the house. This will create an additional load on the heat pump, which will be difficult to warm the icy street air mixed with warm from the room. Therefore, it is necessary to install a channel heater with a special controller on the supply air duct.

The point is that the duct heater only warms the fresh street air necessary to ensure the comfort of people in the house. And the air heat pump compensates for the heat loss of the building. It is more efficient to install a recuperator instead of a channel heater, but with air exchange volumes of less than 150 m3 per hour - the payback period will be more than 7-8 years.

A vent window does not effectively provide the necessary fresh air flow because it is uncontrolled air exchange and therefore large heat loss.

5. So, a supply 125 mm air channel. The passage through the wall must be insulated as this is a place of a sharp temperature drop and moisture will condense from the side of the room on the duct.

6. Not necessarily, but preferably a simple air filter. At least a metal mesh, so that in no case insects do not get on the heating element. Left filter after 40 days of operation. Environmentally friendly area, lack of production and all that. The filter is easily washed with water and installed back.

7. The next element is the channel heater. Inside it are two spiral heating elements with a total power of 2 kW.

8. And the "heart" of the system is the triac power regulator TC-3.7 / 1. This device, based on the readings of an external temperature sensor, makes it possible to maintain a predetermined temperature with high accuracy by applying a partial or full load to the heating element.

9. After the channel heater, a temperature sensor is installed in the duct.

10. You must have seen similar devices in hotels and multi-story buildings with centralized air heating. Each room has a separate controller that heats the air to the set temperature. Why it is impossible to control the load with a conventional temperature controller? It's simple, we have a heating element with a power of 2 kW, imagine what kind of surges will be in the electric network each time it is turned on / off.

Total, the internal block of the air heat pump works for me round-the-clock both in the winter and in the summer. The fan in the bathroom at a low speed, providing an air flow of 90 m3 / hour, also works around the clock. I set the street air heating to a temperature of +10 +15 degrees Celsius, the rest heats up the heat pump.

Focusing on the statistics of last winter, we can say the following. In the coldest winter month, I consumed 300 kWh of electricity to heat the supply air in the amount of 90 m3 / h. And to compensate for the heat loss of the building, it took 600 kWh of thermal power.

Budget supply ventilation   (at prices in autumn 2014): duct heater - 2500 rubles, seven-core controller - 5000 rubles, temperature sensor - 1000 rubles, air ducts and connecting elements - 1000 rubles.

A more economical alternative is a recuperator, but its cost at that time was at least 60 thousand rubles, that is, 6 times more expensive.

In my case, the presence of air heating made it possible not to make separate supply ducts with fresh street air into the living quarters. If you use radiators or underfloor heating, then you need to lay separate air ducts with fresh air in all living quarters (at least bedrooms).

And do not forget that the combustion process also requires an influx of fresh air (not to mention the emission of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide). Bad draft by the fireplace or stove? So your house is airtight, there is no influx of fresh air!

12. And a bonus photo of the guest house. It remains to close the base and finish a couple of little things. By the way, it is also heated by an air heat pump - a window air conditioner, which I bought for 7 thousand rubles. Separately, I’ll also tell about summer kitchen.

The article will be considered types of ventilation systems, their pluses and minuses, of what structural elements the ventilation system consists of, and also you will learn how to mount the system supply and exhaust ventilation.

As you know, fresh clean air, saturated with oxygen, has a beneficial effect on human health, and a well-designed and installed ventilation system will ensure a comfortable stay indoors.

According to SNiP 2.08.01-89 * Appendix 4, the amount of air removed is:

For living rooms - 3 m 3 / h for 1 m 2;

For kitchen:

With a 2-comfortable stove - 60 m 3 / h;

With a 3-comfortable cooker - 75 m 3 / h;

With a 4-comfort cooker - 90 m 3 / h.

For a bath - 25 m 3 / h;

For the restroom - 25 m 3 / h;

For the combined premises of the restroom and bathroom - 50 m 3 / h;

Accordingly, the volume of incoming outdoor air should be equal to the volume of air removed from the room. For living rooms (living rooms, bedrooms), the influx of fresh air should be at least 30 m 3 / h per person.

  Types of ventilation systems

There are two types of ventilation systems: natural ventilation and forced ventilation.

Natural ventilation premises is due to the temperature difference between the external and internal air. As you know, the density of cold air is greater than the density of heated air. Due to this, cold air descends, displacing warm air. So there is a pressure difference between the external and internal air. Due to this pressure difference, the outside cold air tends to a low pressure zone, i.e. into the room with warm air, and warm air is forced out of the room and rises out through the ventilation duct. Thereby, a draft occurs in the ventilation duct. The natural ventilation system works by this principle.

The benefits of natural ventilation :

Cheap to install and operate;

Easy installation;

It does not break;

It is independent of electricity.

Cons of natural ventilation :

It has limited performance adjustment, it is adjustable only in the direction of lowering productivity;

Large heat loss during natural ventilation in winter;

Natural ventilation cannot work in the summer because the air temperature inside and outside is almost the same;

No air filtration.

Forced ventilation   It works thanks to the creation of artificial fresh air and artificial draft in the exhaust duct by the fans. This system allows you to fully control the air exchange in the room. But the performance of forced ventilation is completely dependent on the availability of electricity in the house. If for some reason there is no electricity in the house, then forced ventilation will immediately stop its work. Therefore, such ventilation requires a backup power supply in the house.

Benefits of fresh air ventilation :

Performance adjustment, both upward and downward;

The efficiency of the supply ventilation does not depend on the outside temperature;

Possibility of filtering, heating, cooling, humidification and dehumidification of air;

Minimal heat loss due to heating of cold outdoor air.

Cons of supply ventilation :

Supply ventilation does not work if there is no electricity in the house;

Additional energy costs, periodic replacement of filters;

Elements of forced ventilation can fail;

Requires sound insulation, as makes some noise.

Considering all the above-mentioned pros and cons of natural and forced ventilation, as well as the costs of materials and installation of ventilation, choose the most suitable type of ventilation for yourself.

Elements of the ventilation system

Natural ventilation system   consists of the minimum required structural elements: supply valvethrough which fresh air enters the room (an open window may act as an alternative to the supply valve) and exhaust pipethrough which the exhaust air is discharged to the outside. A deflector is installed above the chimney.

  - this is a device that increases draft in the ventilation pipe, creating a low pressure zone around itself due to design features, thereby sucking air from the exhaust pipe. That's all the elements that make up natural ventilation.

Forced ventilation   consists of a lot more components. The entire forced ventilation system is centered around one important element - supply and exhaust unit. This unit provides both fresh air intake and exhaust air removal.

Consists of the following elements: supply fan, exhaust fan, recuperator, air heater, bypass and filters. Let's take a closer look at how these seemingly complex elements work.

WITH supply and exhaust fan   everything is clear, one pumps air into the room, and the other takes the "dirty" air out. Supply air filter   prevents dust, insects, plant pollen, etc. from getting into the house and into the ventilation system itself. Extract air filter   protects the supply and exhaust unit from the ingress of house dust, thereby increasing its service life. After fans and filters, air enters the recuperator.



Recuperator   or the heat exchanger heats the incoming cold air due to the warm exhaust air, while the incoming and outgoing air flows are not mixed. This is achieved due to the close arrangement of the supply and exhaust channels. Thanks to the recuperator, the heat loss at home is significantly reduced.

As you know, with the close interaction of air flows with positive and negative temperatures, condensate forms. And this condensate is formed, of course, in the recuperator. At fairly low outdoor temperatures, this condensate freezes, forming ice in the channels of the heat exchanger. This ice can clog and damage the channels. To prevent this from happening, we added to the block bypass, which allows you to direct cold air bypassing the recuperator. Thanks to the bypass, the recuperator is heated by the warm exhaust air, the ice formed in it melts.

Even when passing through the recuperator, the cold air does not heat up enough to ensure a comfortable stay in the house. Therefore, after the recuperator there is a heating element called air heaterwhich heats fresh air to a comfortable temperature.

Some expensive block models have built-in humidifiers, to moisten dry winter air.

The supply and exhaust unit has a control and automatic control system, which allows you to set certain values \u200b\u200bof air temperature, air flow rate, degree of air humidification.

It is desirable to place the supply and exhaust unit in the attic of the house so that the length of the ducts is minimal.

Air ducts   cross-section differ into round and rectangular. Round ducts   have less resistance when air flows through them, which in turn reduces pressure losses in the system and reduces noise.

Rectangular ducts   have more resistance than round ones, but they take up less space and their use is justified when the space for ventilation is limited.

Also, air ducts vary in material and are metal, plastic, metal-plastic, foil and textile. When choosing air ducts, consider the environment in which they will be used: temperature and humidity.

Consult a specialist to determine duct sizes.

At installation of air ducts various shaped products: tees, crosses, bends for changing the direction of the duct, adapters from one diameter of the duct to another, adapters from round to rectangular, plugs, nipples for connecting ducts, etc.

And finally, at the outlet of the supply air duct anemostat   - a device that evenly distributes throughout the room the air flow coming from the duct.

  Installation of supply and exhaust ventilation system

The design of the ventilation system should begin at the design stage of the house, as air ducts suspended from the ceiling and closed by tension or false ceilings   will be subtracted from the total height of the room 15-20 cm. When arranging the ducts inside the wall frame, the wall thickness should be taken into account at the design stage of the house.

Air inlet   and the deflector must be placed at a distance of at least 10 meters, ideally the air intake hole is on one side of the house, and the deflector on the other.

The air intake hole is placed at a height of not less than 1.5 m, so as not to trap the radioactive soil gas radon in the ventilation system, which negatively affects human health. The inlet ventilation hole itself is covered with a net to avoid leaves, insects, birds, etc. getting into the ventilation system.

Air outlets   placed in places of high air pollution: kitchen, bathroom, toilet. In the kitchen, an influx of fresh air is not needed, only an extractor fan. Each living room must have a separate supply air duct.

For each of the premises, a separate duct should be maintained for exhaust air, i.e. air outlets from different rooms should be connected with air ducts in parallel, and not in series, then the smell from the toilet will not appear in the kitchen, and the smell from the kitchen and toilet will not be in the bedroom. Thus, all air outlets should be connected directly in front of the exhaust outlet of the supply and exhaust unit.

Hard ducts should not be connected directly to the ventilation unit, otherwise vibration and noise from the unit will be transmitted through the ducts to the room. Therefore, you must connect the rigid ducts and the unit only through flexible corrugated ducts   and the length of the flexible section must be at least 1 m.

All ducts are glued with a layer thermal insulation   10-15 mm thick. This will prevent moisture condensation in the duct and prevent the transmission of noise and vibration through the ducts.

Try to position the ducts with the smallest angle of rotation, as air ducts located at right angles sharply reduce the pressure in the system and thereby reduce the efficiency of the ventilation system. In addition, the pressure in the system decreases with increasing length of the ducts, so the length of the duct should be minimal.



Fixing circular ducts   carried out using a clamp with a hairpin (c), or using a punched tape (g). Rectangular ducts   produced usingZ -shaped (b) orL -shaped profile (a) and studs, or with the help of a traverse and studs (e).

Supply and exhaust ventilation unit   it is advisable to place in the center of the house in the attic, so that the ducts have a minimum length. It is also necessary to provide free access to the ventilation unit, as filters are periodically changed and maintenance   block.

The specifics of the design and installation of ventilation of a country house


The ventilation system in a country house is individually designed.

The project must take into account the area of \u200b\u200bthe building, the set of premises and their purpose.

Does the house have a pool, sauna?

Then it is necessary to equip a ventilation system that can remove excess moisture from the room.

In rooms equipped with a fireplace, they create such a balance of exhaust and air flow that combustion is maintained at the desired level.

In the boiler room, the project usually provides for autonomous ventilation.

Its task: the removal of combustion products and ensuring the optimal level of operation of the boiler, in order to prevent excessive consumption of fuel.

The ventilation system in a country house provides for the installation of ventilation in the attached garage, workshop.

From these rooms, air is removed and not allowed in residential premises.

Nowadays, few people build traditional huts with stoves, preferring modern engineering and architectural solutions. As a diverse and inexhaustible post shows, ventilation problems in the minds of the ordinary owner of a country house occupy, at best, 47th place (I hope this statement will not offend anyone). And psychologically, this is easily explained: if a city dweller broke out of the metropolis and found himself in nature, then by something, and he would be provided with fresh air by definition.


However flavors and mowed hay won't get into an unventilated house, and that's why:

  1. The use of doors with a sealed narthex and other structural elements creating an insulating thermal circuit sets insurmountable barrier to fresh air.
  2. In the absence of air flow no and hoods   through ventilation ducts in bathrooms and in the kitchen.
  3. As a result, the air in the tightly clogged compartments of the country "submarine" saturated with all kinds of harmfulthat highlight modern building materials. The list of hazards includes paints, chipboards, carpets, bedding, etc. Having carefully examined the rooms, you can expand this list yourself.
  After a while, the newcomer begins to understand that something is wrong with the ecology of the home. I will not touch upon health problems, since I am not a doctor. However, there are many signs of the lack of proper ventilation, which are visible to the naked eye: because of the dampness, what seemed to be perfect spoils, the dots of the fungus appear on the nice little ones chosen at the home council ... But let's not talk about sad things.

How much air do we need?

Imagine these volumes of air, expressed in numbers, are well known and fixed in the relevant building codes. According to the SNIP, for living rooms (at the time of the presence of residents there) it is necessary not less than a single exchange of air volume for 1 hour. That is, if you live in a bedroom of 16 square meters. m and a ceiling height of 3 m, then an hour for a quiet sleep, the owners will need 50 cubic meters of air. By the way, its weight is 60 kg. During the night in this bedroom it should be replaced to half a ton. Rate this figure. Where is the car that “drives” 400 cubic meters of air through the room?


The situation in common areas is noticeably more serious. SNIP determines that:

  • at least 60 cubic meters must be removed from the kitchen in maintenance mode m air per hour,
  • from the bath and the restroom - 25 cubic meters. m / h;
  • air exchange rate in other rooms, as well as in all ventilated rooms in non-working mode, should be at least 0.2 room volumes per hour;
  • in the gym, billiard room, laundry, pool and must be served at least 80 cubic meters / h. fresh air;
  • comfort in the sauna is achieved by ventilation of this room at a rate of 5 cubic meters per hour for each person;
  • in a heat generating (boiler) - not less than 60 cubic meters / hour (in general, ventilation and arrangement of a boiler room is a topic for a completely separate serious article).
  Will an open window leaf of a plastic window be able to provide these volumes? It is good to use open windows for the influx of fresh air in the summer, in warm, dry weather. In technical rooms - year-round. But if a highway passes near your dacha, noise will penetrate the house through constantly open (or even ajar) windows, and in winter drafts, or even uninvited guests, are possible.

Available on some window models special valves for ventilation they don’t solve the problem radically: the best of them are able to let in no more than 20 cubes of air per hour. Those who studied the previous paragraph, this “twenty” is unlikely to be seductive.


Two versions of climate comfort

Known 2 ventilation systems: with natural and forced air exchange. The main disadvantage of the first is that its effectiveness depends on variable factors: air temperature, wind direction and speed. In order for the draft to work energetically, the outdoor temperature should be about 0 ° C or lower, and the minimum difference between the level of indoor air intake (i.e. the height of the intake grilles or at least the ventilation window) and its discharge (the height of the head or ventilation duct) - not less than 3 meters.


For a one-story cottage, this is not at all characteristic. As soon as the street gets warmer, and such a system generally stops working.

I recall the sizzling summer of 2010, which I spent in a one-story frame house with a fairly high ventilation pipe. The result of natural ventilation in the heat is zero. You bring a piece of paper to the edge of the channel, but it will not move. Those. hopes for natural ventilation, just when it is desperately needed, have completely vanished.

Therefore, in order to provide climatic comfort at the cottage, it is equipped forced mechanical ventilation systemsindependent of the temperature fluctuations of the outdoor air and the height of the ventilation pipe.


Mechanical ventilation is especially needed in rooms that are problematic in temperature, humidity and odors: boiler rooms, built-in garages, laundry rooms, workshops.

Removing stagnant air: forced ventilation

The easiest forced ventilation option includes active hood and natural flow. In it, polluted air is mechanically evacuated outside the house. For this, various kinds of paddle fans. They create a small vacuum on the edge of the ventilation duct, which draws polluted air from the premises.



  In his place, according to the laws of physics on the equality of pressure in communicating vessels, fresh air enters - through ajar windows (or slots in them), a gap under the door, etc. For stable operation of such ventilation it is necessary atmospheric connectivity. Doors with a sealed vestibule should be at least ajar. With the windows and doors closed, the polluted air will not leave the country house: the fans, even if they are turned on at full power, will “choke” and fail prematurely.


It is also appropriate to talk about collateral individual hoods   in the toilet and bathrooms, in the kitchen, as well as in technical rooms. Installed in them local fans   by design are divided into axial   and centrifugal. Their work schedule depends on the purpose of the ventilated rooms.

Agree, why spend a fan in the bathroom while nobody is there? Nothing at all! Therefore, such fans are equipped with different (according to the principle of operation) sensors - movement, humidity, etc. In the toilet, for example, it is reasonable to connect the fan to the switch.


However, even this seemingly simple thing has its own nuances. So, for obvious reasons, it is advisable to extend the operation of the toilet fan for 5-10 minutes after turning off the light. A simple time switch included in the electric circuit of the fan will solve this delicate problem.

Wall fans remove air through the channels provided in the walls during the construction of the house. If you are building a house anew, then the possibility of optimal ventilation of the premises should already be included in the project. To do this, it’s better not to "scatter" on local ones, but install them in the back room or in the attic central exhaustfanone for the whole country. It is connected to the exhaust objects with air ducts. For central exhaust fans centrifugal circuitcapable of "shoveling" the air from several suction ducts. Such devices have a reduced noise level, and yet it is better to place them away from the bedroom and the nursery.

We blow in both directions: systems of supply and exhaust ventilation

It is difficult to find flaws in the considered systems in warm weather, however, they are detected with the advent of cold weather. The fact is that air in winter goes inside without preheating. Of course, this leads to drafts and local overcooling of rooms. In winter and summer, such systems not designed to clean air from dust and odors. This set of shortcomings has led to the creation of a more perfect ventilation systems. It supplies to the premises a sufficient amount of purified and, if required by the weather, heated fresh air. A waste displays with the help of fans.


It is wise to install such ventilation systems in houses adjacent to freeways. They will not allow the car stench to poison country life. This installation is also required in rooms with a pool. But creating a comfortable microclimate in them is a big separate topic, which we will not consider today.

For forced supply of fresh air, it is wise to use factory one-piece air handling units, and not engage in amateur activity. Although creative and masterful summer residents may disagree with me. For this we respect them.

Installations are mounted in the attic or outside the house. After cleaning and heat treatment, air enters the rooms through a duct network. The location of the ducts should also be provided at the design stage. Most often they are placed behind a false ceiling. And this "eats" 10-15 cm of the height of the room.

Often paired with a supply unit roof exhaust fan. Of course supply unit   and the exhaust fan must "pull" synchronously, otherwise in the country will be either increased or decreased pressure.


We pass to serious technologies. That is, not “clumsy” distillation of air from empty to empty, but to the careful use of thermal energy accumulated in the house. This is a ventilation system based on an energy-saving supply and exhaust system with a plate heat exchanger or rotary heat exchanger.

Traditionally, the installation is mounted in the attic. For air exchange, 2 duct networks are constructed:

  1. The intake of air from the garden, as well as its delivery from the installation to the premises, is via the network supply air ducts.
  2. From the premises, the air returns to the supply unit.
  3. And then goes outside the building via the network return ducts.
  The output edges of the supply and return ducts are the only visible elements of these complex engineering systems, the presence of which is easy to determine by the design of ventilation grilles.


Forced-air and exhaust installations   with recuperator   reduce the cost of heating the supply air by 10-70%. They are based on a plate cross-flow recuperator - a package of thin metal plates, between which there are gaps. The air removed from the room flows into every second gap between the plates, and fresh air flows through the remaining channels. Since the plates are very thin, they easily transfer heat from a heated air stream to a colder one.

Forced-air and exhaust installations with rotor heat exchangers Imported production - the pinnacle of ventilation with maximum energy savings. But they are quite expensive and in ordinary dachas have not yet received distribution.


However, I would like to complete the article with an encouraging story about one wonderful domestic developmentworthy embodied in metal. It was created in industrial Omsk, at the Ecoterm enterprise. The installation is called UVRK-50. To understand the essence of her work, we can draw an analogy with how we breathe in severe frost - through a warm woolen muffler. During exhalation, part of the heat and moisture is given to him, and when inhaling, fresh air, passing through matter, absorbs heat and moisture and returns them to the body. This ensures ventilation with optimal energy saving.

When using this system applies joint work of two installations in neighboring rooms. They alternately automatically include a different direction of flow and provide fresh clean air to an apartment of 60 square meters. m with minimal energy loss. Power consumption does not exceed 30 W, and the noise level is 42 dB.


The inlets of the installation are lined with grilles located both in the interior and on the facade of the cottage.

An unsatisfactory, I would say ugly, state of air in rooms with closed double-glazed windows prompted the development of this design of Siberian craftsmen. And although UVRK-50 was created for urban conditions, there are no restrictions for its use in cottages.



  Here you have a rustic light version of supply and exhaust ventilation. Honor and praise to these engineers!

What about ventilation in your country house?


The article is placed in the sections:

People in the process of life, whether we want it or not, emit carbon dioxide CO2 and absorb oxygen. Therefore, the influx of fresh air from the street is necessary to maintain a constant gas composition of the air in a residential building.

Features of ventilation of country houses

When a person builds a country house for himself, he seeks to do it wisely, finding the optimal ratio of price and quality. An acceptable result can be achieved by correctly designing natural ventilation. Of course, there is no question of energy efficiency here, because most of the time, except for the autumn-spring period, the outside air requires processing. In summer, the air warms up above comfortable temperature indicators, and in winter it drops much lower. The ventilation of private houses is diverse and costs completely different money.

Natural ventilation or mechanical?

Natural ventilation at home is the simplest, but often forgotten about it. For its implementation, it is necessary to provide a system of window ventilators or wall valves. This solution will reduce the noise coming from the street, provide the premises with the necessary amount of oxygen, and allow you to fine-tune the system. You should also remember about the natural ventilation of the kitchen, bathrooms, basements. For basements, it is necessary to provide ventilation, natural supply and exhaust ventilation. In the kitchen, be sure to make an extract from the upper zone. Another drawback of natural ventilation is the presence of drafts. The cost of natural ventilation can be 30,000-50,000 rubles per house 500-600m2

Forced country house ventilation   costs more, has a more complex device, but can provide high-quality air distribution, optimal microclimate parameters. The cost of such a system for a similar house will be 300,000 rubles - 1,000,000 rubles.

Design of ventilation of a country house

Regardless of the type and level of complexity of the system, the ventilation of a country house must be designed. Diteil Engneering specialists are ready to help you with choosing the best system.
