2-zone control

Up to 40% energy savings

Auto calibration

Save time = Save money

DUCOBOX ENERGY PREMIUM IN THE SPOTLIGHT

The DucoBox Energy Premium takes MVHR systems to the next level. Ideal for installations in an “energy-neutral” or “passive” home. The unit comes with automatic calibration and an (optional) integrated 2-zone operation, based on time- or demand control (CO2
/ humidity). The DucoBox Energy Premium ensures ultra-quiet, intelligent and energy-conscious operations!

The most quiet MVHR solution!

The favourable positioning of the fan as well as the use of high-grad absorbent material and a steel casing guarantee a whisper-quiet operation, especially in the living areas where this matters most (bedrooms and living room)!

2-zone control (optional)

The day and night zone are controlled separately by a valve which is integrated in the unit itself. Control is possible based on time-schedules or based on CO2 or humidity measurements, thereby
significantly improving the energy efficiency

AUTO calibration

The automatic calibration, which is based on the principle of constant pressure, allows for a very fast and accurate calibration. This easily reduces set-up time to 50%! DUCO saves you time and money!

Distinguishing features

Quietest sound power (air supply) on the market
Patented 2-zone control guarantees maximum energy efficiency (60.5 W)
Automatic calibration reduces setup time by at least 50%
Modular surface mounted, all components are accessible at the front of the device
Smart communication via connection through REST API (locally or via the cloud) or Modbus TCP
Generate a ventilation report immediately after calibration via the Duco Installation App

A DucoBox for every home

Choose the DucoBox that fits your requirement based on the following possibilities:

Ventilation capacity| Two types of units with extraction and supply (at 150 Pa): either up to 325 m3/h, or up to 400 m3/h.
---|---
Zonal control| Available with or without the internally integrated 2-zone valve allowing 2-zone control.
Frost protection| Via imbalance or combined with pre-heater.
Left / right version| The sloping side can be either left or right (on the slope side, one finds SUP “zone 1” and ETA connection).
Type of plug| With plug type G (UK) or plug type F (other European countries).

2-ZONE VENTILATION SYSTEM

Sensors closely monitor the occupant’s presence and activity in the dwelling by means of CO2 and/or humidity-sensors. This allows for an automated detection of when to ventilate, where to ventilate (day-zone or night-zone) and how much to ventilate.
Controlling both zones separately with a built-in valve substantially reduces consumption by the EC-fans, which translates into the highest energy reduction and an A+ energy label.
