  • Smart demand control adjusts ventilation based on necessity, reducing unnecessary heat loss.
  • High energy conversion efficiency through dynamic air distribution filters and high-performance heat exchangers.
  • Quiet operation ensures acoustic comfort, especially in living areas and bedrooms.
  • Connectivity options allow integration with building management systems via ModBus and ethernet.
  • Automatic calibration reduces setup time by 50% and ensures quality results.
Unique Selling Points
  • DUCO offers the only MVHR system with an integrated 2-zone valve, optimizing indoor air quality and energy use.
  • On-demand ventilation operates based on real-time air quality measurements.
Installation and Maintenance
Comprehensive installation tips are provided to ensure optimal system performance, including using thermally insulated ducts, minimizing resistance in ductwork, and ensuring proper calibration.
Specifications
The Duco Energy Premium systems are designed for MVHR and can handle up to 400 m³/h at 150 Pa. They are certified by the Passive House Institute for cool, temperate climates, specifically when equipped with a heater and operating within a flow rate of 119 m³/h to 239 m³/h.
Components
The document lists components for the DucoBox Energy Premium systems, including user controllers, CO2 and humidity sensors, and switch sensors. It highlights the modular nature of the control components.
Control Components
User controls and room sensors are available in RF and wired models, offering automatic and manual operation modes. These components measure air quality through CO2 and humidity levels, influencing the system's operation in automatic mode.
Installation and Configuration
The installation process for the DucoFlex air duct system is outlined, emphasizing ease of installation due to the 'Click & Go' principle and the 'ZERO NOISE' guarantee for high airtightness and low air resistance.
Recommendations
For optimal performance, the document recommends using certified components and following specified installation guidelines. Consulting with a DUCO dealer for tailored project solutions and quotations is also suggested.
Specifications
The document describes various DucoFlex products designed for ventilation systems, including wall and roof feed-throughs, which provide low-pressure losses and quick, airtight connections to DucoFlex pipes.
Procedures
Installation tips emphasize using thermally insulated ducts, maintaining low counter pressure, and ensuring airtight connections. Specific guidelines include using silencers to reduce noise and minimizing resistance by avoiding curves and sharp angles in ductwork.
Norms and Recommendations
The document advises maintaining a total counter pressure in ducts of ≤ 150Pa and an airspeed not exceeding 3 m/s, ensuring compliance with EN 13779 standards.
Support and Services
DUCO offers support through dealers and advisory offices for design and installation challenges, providing tailored advice and layout plans for ventilation ducts. A service department is available for complaints and interventions, and a Ventilation Academy offers training opportunities.
Installation Tips
Key tips include using brackets with rubber inlays to reduce vibration transmission, ensuring level installation, and using mounting plinths if necessary. The document stresses the importance of optimizing the duct system for efficient operation and energy savings.

DUCO is the only manufacturer that can offer a MVHR system with an integrated 2-zone valve (DucoBox Energy Premium 2-zonevariant). If the air quality in a specific zone is found to be ok, ventilation in that zone is set to a minimum. Cost savings for heating, lower consumption and acoustic comfort are the logical consequences. But always with guaranteed indoor air quality! Thanks to the favorable positioning of the fan, combined with the use of highly absorbant materials, the DucoBox Energy Premium also provides an unparalleled acoustic comfort. O ptimal indoor air quality in the most energetically...

DUCO introduces ON DEMAND VENTILATION Historically, MVHR-units were running continuously: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This was deemed to be “ok” as there was “heat recovery” anyway, and so the energy losses were deemed to be small. DUCO feels that this “old school”-way-of-thinking is a thing of the past and decided to go a step beyond the “normal” operation-mode of a “traditional” MVHR-system. So next to offering user control options on the display or via a remote control; next to offering the possibility to make the unit function on a time-schedule, DUCO also offers true “on demand” solutions...
