Submitted by on Wed, 01/29/2020 - 11:48

A ventilation performance report is mandatory for every new residential building in Flanders, for building permits issued since January, 1st 2016. This means that the features of the ventilation system as installed in the dwelling must be reported and that, in the EPB-report of the dwelling, these data must be used to justify the energy performance of the ventilation system. 

To enhance the properly functioning of the ventilation systems, a ventilation preliminary design has to be made before the physical building process is started.
