Energetic refurbishment without appropriate ventilation concept is only half the battle.

Pluggit refresh: helps saving heating energy of up to 70 % and reduces the incidental costs, 40 % of the refurbishment costs are amortised by the energy saved Facilitates reletting increases the value of the flat and meets the energy performance certificate requirements prevents mould formation and hence follow-up costs; ensures the required air exchange rate can be installed anywhere without difficulty and is virtually invisible due to the elegant design The Pluggit refresh fresh air system is the solution for an appropriate ventilation concept for the energetic refurbishment of existing...

Well insulated is only half the battle Millions of flats in Europe are on the verge of being subjected to energetic refurbishment. Investments in the insulation of the building shell and windows are intended to reduce heating costs and, in this way, keep the rent including ancillary costs at an affordable level. With energetic building refurbishment, the insulation of the building shell contributes to saving a great deal of energy. However, at the same time it places new demands on ventilation. The prescribed and necessary ventilation of the living areas often becomes a problem! The...

Good airing is a skill The required minimum air exchange rate for air-tight building shells, in particular, can no longer be ensured by window ventilation, the original form of airing. Furthermore, window ventilation wastes a vast amount of valuable energy. It is asking too much for tenants of flats to “manually” ensure the minimum air exchange rate. They air their flats either insufficiently or excessively. Furthermore, various court decisions have established that it is unreasonable to expect tenants to perform intensive airing at regular intervals. (Bochum Local Court, Higher Regional...

More than 70 % of the total energy requirements for households is used for room heating. Transmission heat losses due to components are reduced largely in energetically refurbished old buildings. The greatest saving potential can therefore be found in the area of what is referred to as infiltration heat losses, which is the energy which escapes outside through open windows in an uncontrolled manner. The heating costs have already been able to be reduced to a great extent by excellent insulation of the outer shell, appropriate windows and efficient heating systems. However, all optimisation...

On 1st October 2007 the energy saving ordinance came into force and for the first time in Germany the assessment of the energy efficiency of property became a legal obligation. With its colour coding, the energy performance certificate also helps consumers without a great deal of technical expertise when making decisions on purchasing or renting property. Retrofitting a convenience ventilation system not only increases the energetic efficiency, it also increases the market value of each item of property! This allows owners and landlords investing in the energetic refurbishment of their...

Saving energy is at the centre of attention for the construction of buildings and the refurbishment of existing buildings. However, the attempt to keep thermal energy requirements at a minimum by means of insulation has increased the significance of convenience ventilation. Since the energy saving ordinance (EnEV) stipulates that the outer shell is to be sealed air-tight. However, the water condensing in the living area must be able to escape outside in some sort of way. Up to 15 litres of water are absorbed by the air as steam in a four-person household per day – due to cooking, taking a...

Pluggit refresh makes it easier to relet flats and increases their value The attractiveness of residential units is increased considerably by energetic refurbishment. An energy performance certificate with positive assessment will play a major role in future in the relettability of flats. Not only the insulation is taken into account, but also the ventilation. Saving heating costs is a decisive aspect when making a decision on a flat, but also the air quality is becoming increasingly important. Regular, reliable air exchange not only supplies the room with fresh air, it also, in particular,...

Healthy living begins with fresh air. Since it is impossible, however, for tenants to open all windows for 10 minutes every two hours, a mechanical living area ventilation system helps to determine the right dosage of fresh air. In addition, almost every third person in Germany is affected by allergies. Most of them react to certain substances in the air: house dust, mites, pollen etc. 13 million people suffer from hay fever in Germany alone. Sometimes the cause is external, sometimes it is internal, which is an intricate problem for many allergy sufferers. Regular airing is good against...

Pluggit refresh is easy to install and has an excellent design The refresh fresh air unit is designed that it can be installed, for example, above a wall cupboard in the kitchen. It disappears completely behind a faceplate and, in this way, can be fully integrated in the flat design. All ventilation ducts are installed along the ceiling. Special strips of individual design, which can be simply clicked onto the ducts, allow them to be integrated that they too are completely invisible in the flat. The air outlets above the doors in the supply air rooms are barely noticeable due to their...
