Healthy indoor climate and efficient energy utilisation

A ventilation system ensures a pleasant and healthy indoor climate in your home or office.

It filters the air, removes pollutants and moisture and ensures sufficient air exchange.

In Zurich, the installation of a ventilation system is particularly important due to the high level of air pollution.

In addition, a ventilation system can also contribute to energy savings.

In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about installing and insulating a ventilation system in Zurich.

1. planning and selection of the ventilation system

The first step is to plan the ventilation system.

Various factors must be taken into account here, e.g:

• Size of the building
• Number of persons
• Utilisation of the building

The insulation of the ventilation ducts:

• Prevents the formation of condensation
• Reduces the noise level
• Improves energy efficiency

There are various insulation materials for ventilation ducts, e.g:

• Mineral wool
• Glass wool
• Polystyrene
• Armaflex

4. maintenance and cleaning of the ventilation system

A ventilation system must be regularly maintained and cleaned.

Maintenance and cleaning of the ventilation system:
