The importance of a healthy indoor climate
Sustainable and energy-efficient ventilation for new buildings
Because homes and buildings are now built to be airtight, good ventilation is essential. This keeps the indoor climate healthy and prevents issues with damp and mould. Modern ventilation systems can also reduce energy consumption thanks to smart sensors that continuously monitor air quality and automatically adjust the ventilation rate. This not only ensures consistent air quality, but also reduces energy bills. In short, a high-quality ventilation system is an investment in sustainability while also complying with the latest laws and regulations.
Energy efficiency and higher market value
The benefits of ventilation in new buildings
Ventilation in new buildings is not just a necessity, it also offers many benefits. The main plus point is the consistent air quality. This provides better comfort, prevents damp problems and minimises the risk of health issues caused by unhealthy indoor air, such as headaches, fatigue and respiratory infections. Moreover, good ventilation can help reduce allergic reactions. Modern ventilation systems in new buildings also reduce energy consumption. This keeps energy costs down while increasing the value of the home. All the more reason to invest in a high-quality ventilation system.

Customised advice and installation
Interduct's solutions for new-build ventilation
Interduct can provide everything in the field of ventilation: from advice and production to installation and maintenance. This allows us to handle an entire project for you. After a thorough analysis of your requirements and the drawings, we draw up a complete design. In principle, everything is possible, but we prefer to select the most sustainable and energy-efficient solutions. We do this by applying innovative ventilation technology, such as combining a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery (HRV), hybrid systems and demand-driven ventilation. Our experts ensure correct and on-time installation and work closely with the construction teams to ensure smooth project progress.

Laws and regulations for new construction ventilation
Due to the growing awareness of sustainability, energy efficiency and healthy indoor climates, rules and guidelines have been tightened considerably in recent years. Newly built houses must comply with the Structures (Living Environment) Decree that replaced the 2012 Building Regulations, and with NEN 1087, which specifies minimum ventilation capacities. In addition, designs are checked against the NZEB standards and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). We constantly monitor developments and apply the four-eye principle to double-check and ensure that every design meets the latest ventilation requirements and standards.

FAQs
What are the benefits of mechanical ventilation in new buildings?
Mechanical ventilation brings important benefits, including consistent air quality. This not only promotes better health, but also prevents issues with things such as damp and mould. And that in turn helps improve the condition of the interior. Moreover, a high-quality ventilation system has a positive effect on the value of the home.
Why is a ventilation plan needed for new buildings?
A ventilation plan includes all aspects of the ventilation system, such as a schematic plan of the installation, the necessary ventilation flow rates and all the technical specifications. This document gives a good overview of the products required and serves as a guide for installation. This way, we ensure the installation is problem-free and the end user is assured of an ideal indoor climate and low energy consumption, without delay. Of course, we check the plan against the legal requirements.
How is ventilation included in the design of a new building project?
Almost every project involves a collaboration between several specialist companies, each with their own area of expertise, contributing to the creation of a new home or building. Our focus is on the ventilation. By critically reviewing the drawings and getting a good idea of the requirements, we can determine which type of system is the best fit. We then discuss this with the other parties involved to find out if there are any "difficult spots" anywhere. Once these are resolved and the client gives their approval, the plan is ready for implementation.
How can ventilation contribute to energy-efficient construction?
Modern ventilation systems in particular contribute to improved energy efficiency, as well as to a healthy and comfortable indoor climate. For example, balanced ventilation with heat recovery (HRV) uses the warmth of the exhaust air to heat the cold incoming air, so hardly any additional heating is needed. The opposite happens in the summer period; using the HRV system means that the indoor air heats up less quickly. There are also smart, demand-controlled systems that continuously monitor air quality and automatically adjust the ventilation rate. This prevents unnecessary energy consumption.
Can ventilation be integrated with other systems in a new-build home?
Ventilation can be connected to other systems, such as a heat pump, home automation or solar panels. This is usually done to improve energy efficiency or comfort. For example, a link between the ventilation system and the heat pump ensures an even temperature distribution through the underfloor heating, and solar power can be used to drive the ventilation. These integrations make new buildings more sustainable and more energy-efficient.
