These ventilation units are characterized by a periodically changing supply and exhaust air operation. To ensure balanced operation, these ventilation units are always used in pairs, with one unit being in the exhaust air mode and the other in supply air mode. Measurements were made in a research apartment. The results were used to validate a CFD simulation model for transient studies. A room-by-room layout with two units in one room and a cross-room ventilation layout with two connected units in two rooms were analysed. The age of air was used as the evaluation parameter. With the room-by-room ventilation layout a lower age of air in the bedroom compared to the cross-room layout was obtained. However, in the room-by-room layout, the air flow through the larger living room with connected corridor was poorer in the rear area. With the cross-room layout, the flow through the rooms was more uniform. With the cross-room layout, the average age of air in the apartment could be slightly reduced compared to the room-by-room layout.}, language = {en} }
