Heat recovery from outgoing air Heat recovery from outgoing air
The warm outgoing air gives the biggest part of the heat energy to the cold incoming air. Even necessary for low energy houses. With plus energy houses a must.


Sound absorber of the ventilating system Sound absorber of the ventilating system
Huge sound absorbers at the ventilating system guarantee living comfort. Energy saving which does not influence the comfort.
