bluMartin won second prize at this year's Component Award from the Passive House Institute.
The award was presented last Friday at the 22nd International Passive House Conference in Munich.
The competition focused on inexpensive ventilation solutions for the housing industry.
Ventilation plans for an apartment building with apartment sizes of 50-100 m² were submitted.
The expert jury's assessment included life cycle costs resulting from investment, maintenance and energy costs, as well as planning aspects, the architectural quality of the device integration and the practicality of the ventilation solution.
The planning partner of bluMartin was the architectural office Andramis from Wuppertal.
Ideal solution especially for small apartments
bluMartin scores with its facade-integrated ventilation unit freeAir 100 with second room connections.
The smaller apartments can each be supplied with fresh air via just one external wall device, making them extremely cost-efficient.
The bedroom is connected via a short supply air line, the bathroom and kitchen with exhaust air lines.
The larger apartments are each equipped with two freeAir 100 ventilation units.
In order to minimize the number of ventilation ducts, the bedroom is supplied with air as required via the intelligent, active overflow freeAir plus.
Integrating the ventilation units into the external wall saves valuable space, and the minimum number of lines simplifies planning and installation.
Expensive fire protection measures such as fire bulkheads and their maintenance are not necessary because the ventilation is not applied across fire compartments.
The control of the freeAir 100 via eight sensors ensures that the air exchange is automatically adapted to individual requirements.
It was also positively emphasized that the front panel can be individually designed on the inside.
