Pilot house built for 100% GZNDwonen (100% healthy living) Challenge

We as Interduct, together with TNO, BAM Energy Systems, Brink Climate Systems, Renson and 5plus1 (BRITT +1) developed a concept called the Comfortable Indoor Ventilation design. The design includes a ventilation system with air being mixed above the interior doors. With this ventilation system, a ventilation unit with a heat-exchanger, supplies fresh, particulate-filtered and pre-heated outside air into the corridor. Because there is no direct supply of cold outside air entering the living spaces through the façade, the residents do not feel any draughts. From the corridor, fresh air is distributed to the living rooms and bedrooms via a small mixing fan (above or next to the door).

The settings for the mixing fans are controlled by the air quality (room-level CO2 monitoring), and automatically control the ventilation system and individual mixing fans per room. Effective air extraction in the bathroom, toilet and in the kitchen ensures improved and direct removal of moisture, odours and cooking smells to the outside. Ventilation can be automatic if requested. This eliminates the need for residents to do anything.

In this way, the design not only helps prevent moisture, unpleasant odours, draughts and mould, but is also attractive to residents because the system is easy to use. In this way, Mitros and their residents are provided with a sustainable, energy-efficient, comfortable and healthy home.

With a strong team, we were able to successfully build the pilot house in as little as 6 hours. The neighbour was enthusiastic after seeing this home, and already signed up to move in there. One thing is certain: in our pilot house, it is always comfortable inside.
