Ventilation systems for houses and apartments

Efficient solutions for your home

ventilation systems

Whether in your house or apartment, Lossnay ventilation systems ensure that the air quality in your home remains consistently high—without drafts or energy loss. The intelligent technology removes stale air, filters out pollutants, and supplies fresh, preheated air. This is particularly important in modern, well-insulated buildings to prevent mold growth, odors, and poor air quality – while also saving energy.

Fresh air is also becoming a legal requirement: the German Building Energy Act (GEG) stipulates that new buildings and renovations must have a ventilation concept in accordance with DIN 1946-6 if more than a third of the windows are replaced or major insulation measures are carried out. With Lossnay, you can meet these requirements comfortably and energy-efficiently.

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Automatic fresh air supply – without opening windows
  • GEG-compliant ventilation concept in accordance with DIN 1946-6
  • Integrated heat recovery saves heating costs
  • Ideal for allergy sufferers: filters against fine dust, pollen, etc.
  • Extremely quiet – also suitable for bedrooms
  • Easy to retrofit, even in older buildings
  • For apartments, individual rooms, or entire houses

Ventilation systems with heat recovery

Ventilation systems & heat recovery

Fresh air without energy loss

A common problem with ventilation: valuable heating energy escapes along with the stale air. This results in higher heating costs and an uncomfortable indoor climate. This is exactly where Lossnay heat recovery comes in—making ventilation more efficient than ever before.

Here's how it works:

  1. The warm exhaust air from the interior is removed by the ventilation unit.
  2. In a special cross-counterflow heat exchanger, the heat contained is transferred to the fresh supply air.
  3. The fresh air enters the living space preheated – without any energy loss.
  4. Odors, moisture, and pollutants are kept outside—or safely removed.

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Up to 92% heat recovery in central systems
  • Noticeable savings on heating costs – especially during the cold season
  • Comfortable indoor climate without drafts or temperature fluctuations
  • Greater sustainability through efficient energy use

Whether centralized or decentralized, all Lossnay units are equipped with heat recovery as standard, helping to save energy, increase living comfort, and protect the environment at the same time.

Combining a ventilation system with a heat pump

Ventilation system & heat pump

Efficient and future-proof ventilation, heating, and cooling

The combination of a ventilation system with heat recovery and an Ecodan heat pump is one of the most efficient solutions for modern, comfortable living. Both systems work hand in hand to ensure an optimal indoor climate—in every season.

Why this combination is so effective:

  • Lower energy consumption: The ventilation system recovers heat from the exhaust air, reducing heating requirements and taking the strain off the heat pump.
  • Uniform air distribution: Loss-free distribution of room heat without drafts—ideal for comfort throughout the house.
  • Better air quality: Pollutants, CO₂, and moisture are automatically removed, and preheated fresh air flows into the house.
  • Cooling included: Ecodan heat pumps can also provide gentle cooling when designed accordingly—e.g., via surface heating. The ventilation system supports a stable indoor climate.

Tip: A well-designed combination of ventilation and heat pump can not only have a positive effect on your electricity bill, but also on the subsidy amount!

Ventilation systems FAQs

Ventilation systems FAQs
What is controlled residential ventilation (CRV)?

Controlled residential ventilation, or CRV for short, refers to the principle behind modern ventilation systems: a mechanical system continuously supplies fresh, filtered air and removes humid/stale air.

What is the difference between central and decentral residential ventilation?
  • Centralized residential ventilation: The entire house is supplied via an air distribution system. This is particularly suitable for new buildings or comprehensive renovations.
  • Decentralized residential ventilation: The systems are installed directly in individual rooms and are ideal for retrofitting in existing buildings. They require two core holes and can be controlled independently of each other.
Is a ventilation system mandatory in the house?

The Building Energy Act (GEG) does notspecify a particular system, but it does require a ventilation concept in accordance with DIN 1946-6 for certain modernization projects (e.g., if more than one-third of the windows are being replaced). A ventilation system is often the most efficient and convenient solution for ensuring the required air exchange.

Can I retrofit a ventilation system in an old building?

Yes. Decentralized systems in particular are very well suited for retrofitting in older buildings, as they can be installed with minimal effort—usually all that is required is a hole through the exterior wall.

What does heat recovery mean in ventilation systems?

In heat recovery, the system transfers heat from the exhaust air to the incoming freshair—without mixing the air flows. In central Lossnay systems, up to 92% of the heat is recovered. This reduces heating requirements and ensures a consistent, comfortable indoor climate, especially in winter.

How much electricity does a ventilation system consume?

Modern devices require very little power: the Lossnay VL-80 consumes around 6.5 W on the low setting—roughly equivalent to the power consumption of a smartphone charger. Since heating energy is also saved, the total energy consumption is usually significantly lower than when ventilating manually by opening windows.

How loud are ventilation systems?

High-quality devices operate very quietly—often below 25 dB(A) at low settings. This means they are barely noticeable even in bedrooms or children's rooms.
By comparison, the sound of rustling leaves is around 20 dB(A), while a refrigerator is around 50 dB(A).

Can I still open the windows if I have a ventilation system?

Yes. The ventilation system provides basic ventilation, and you can still open the windows as needed (intermittent ventilation). However, permanently tilted windows reduce the efficiency of heat recovery.
