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!

Ducobox Energy Premium

The most quiet MVHR solution!

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

The day and night zone are being controlled separately by a valve which is integrated in the machine itself. Steering can happen based on time-schedules or based on CO2 or humidity measurements, thereby significantly improving the energy efficiency
Ducobox Energy Premium

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%! This quickly means a saving of 40€ on the installation cost for a standard calibration!
Ducobox Energy Premium

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 repor t immediately after calibration through 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, either up to 400 m3/h.
---|---
Zonal control| Available with or without the internally integrated 2-zone valve allowing 2-zone control.
Frost protection| Via unbalance 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).

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.
Ventilation System

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.
