Create a healthy indoor climate in your living space
Ventilation in living spaces
Many of the things we do in our homes can pollute the air around us. These include candle use, perfume, tobacco smoke, wood burning stoves, animal fur, cooking, cleaning products and the evaporation of newly purchased items. This increases the need for fresh air indoors, and especially as our houses become more and more airtight, the polluted air has a hard time getting out of the home.
Ventilation can occur naturally by opening windows and doors, via fresh air vents and leaks in the home. It can also be done mechanically either via single-room ventilation with DUKA One, or a ventilation unit with heat recovery can be installed to ventilate the entire house.
One-room ventilation solution
With a DUKA One solution, you can easily get ventilation in your home without complicated pipework. DUKA One is installed in the outer wall and consists of: An indoor unit, a pipe with core and motor and an external storm shield. For 70 seconds, the solution sucks hot and used air from the room and stores the heat in the core. After 70 seconds, the motor reverses and the solution draws in fresh outdoor air through the core, where it is heated and blown into the room. With a DUKA One solution, ventilation needs can easily be customised to the individual room.
This minimises heat loss when the heat from the exhaust air is reused to heat the supply air. With DUKA One, you get a home with fresh air around the clock, where the occurrence of moisture and radon is reduced.
Other ventilation solutions for living spaces
Exhaust fan
One way to get rid of moisture is with a fan. A fan is a one-way device that only sucks moisture and air out of the room. Therefore, a fan also requires an air supply to the room, which can be via a window vent, grille in the door or via a keyhole.

Villa Ventilation with heat recovery
With a 1TP1 Tilation solution, air will be extracted from the home's humid rooms, such as the bathroom, toilet, kitchen and utility room, and air will be blown into other rooms in the home. The heat from the exhaust air is recycled in the unit's exchanger and heats the supply air. The constant extraction removes moisture from the bathroom. The unit can optionally be equipped with a humidity sensor, where the unit will speed up when the set humidity limit is exceeded.
This solution will ensure a home with fresh, well-ventilated air in every room of the home.
Natural ventilation
Natural ventilation can be achieved by opening windows and doors, via vents and leaks that may exist in the home.
A valve ventilates the room via the natural buoyancy of warm air, where the air is led out of the room either via a flap valve or a telescopic valve.
With natural ventilation, the heat that is in the exhaust air is not utilised. This can result in high heat loss.
