ventilation

ventilation system:

The apartment is equipped with a central ventilation system with a heat recovery solution for ventilation. The ventilation unit is located on the roof of the house. The ventilation takes place according to the needs of each apartment. There is no switch in the apartment to set the ventilation levels or turn off the device on the roof. The supply air valves are in the living rooms and the exhaust air valves are in the kitchen/bathroom/guest toilet and hallway. The ventilation system is set in such a way that in the colder months of the year, a supply air temperature of approx. 20°C flows into the living areas via the pipe system. In the summer months, the temperature from the ventilation system is higher.

The ventilation system is not an air conditioner:

It is not possible to cool down the air flows when the outside temperatures are high. The filters in the ventilation system are regularly checked by HOWOGE and changed as part of the annual maintenance. The ventilation lines from and to the ventilation system are secured with fire protection flaps on each floor. These are located in the apartment and can be reached via inspection flaps. Annual maintenance is planned here.

poppet valve:

The poppet valves are regulated. The setting must not be changed.Dust will naturally form on the exhaust air poppet valves, which can be vacuumed off at regular intervals (approx. every 2 months) or wiped off with a slightly damp cloth.

Important note(see diagram): If you adjust, cover, glue or block the poppet valves, your home's ventilation system will no longer work. This increases the risk of mold formation and the health risk for you. Any adjustment or manipulation of the poppet valves is therefore prohibited.

Did you know?Cooking, showering, sweating: In the everyday life of a four-person household, up to 15 liters of humidity accumulate every day. If this remains in the rooms, the water condenses on the walls and windows. This is the most common cause of mold growth in the home.

Tip:You should open all the windows in your new apartment at least twice a day for five to ten minutes (intermittent airing).

underfloor heating

Each room, including the bathroom, has its own heating circuit. In each room there is a room thermostat with which you can regulate the underfloor heating. You can adapt these to your individual heating needs. Your underfloor heating was designed according to the heat requirements for the individual rooms. The services are calculated in such a way that the specified room temperatures are guaranteed even at low outside temperatures with closed windows and doors. Please note that the room temperature only adjusts to the desired value with some delay due to the system. The respective delay depends, among other things, on the floor structure and the top floor covering (e.g. carpet, tiles, linoleum).

Tip:Only change the room thermostat setting in small steps. Because even a change in temperature by adjusting the room temperature controller by 2 to 3 notches up or down is perceived as a significant warming up or cooling down with a slight time lag.

Please note:Drilling into the floor is prohibited in order to prevent damage to the underfloor heating and the associated consequential damage!

bathroom radiator

In your apartment you will find a locked metal box in which the heating circuit distributor for the underfloor heating of your apartment is located (see technical data sheet: heating circuit distributor). Each room or bathroom has its own heating circuit. A bathroom radiator is provided to support the underfloor heating. The radiator is regulated via the thermostatic valve, which is located on the lower side of the radiator. Your underfloor heating is a so-called low-temperature heating system. Since the bathroom radiator is connected to the heating circuit manifold of the underfloor heating, it will not reach a surface temperature of more than 30-35°C even when the thermostatic valve is fully open (usually level 5).

Note:The thermostatic valve for setting the surface temperature of the radiator is located on the underside of the towel radiator. If the bathroom radiator and underfloor heating are operated at the same time, the desired room temperature is largely achieved by the underfloor heating. So turn the thermostatic valve on the bathroom radiator to the highest level to heat it up and e.g. B. to warm or dry towels or to support the underfloor heating when heating the bathroom.

Good to know:The bathroom radiator is only used to support the underfloor heating or to warm up or dry towels.

home station

You will find a locked metal box in the hallway or storage room of your apartment. This contains both the heating circuit distributor for your underfloor heating and the hot water station for your apartment.

1. Heating circuit manifold

From here, the heat is routed to the individual heating circuits in your apartment via a pipe system in the floor. Settings by you are not necessary here. The heat of your underfloor heating is regulated by the respective room thermostat.

2. Hot water station/drinking water station

The legislator has particularly high requirements for drinking water systems and their operators. Therefore, HOWOGE made a conscious decision to use hot water stations in the apartments.

The way the hot water station works is comparable to that of a flow heater, where the water is heated with the help of district heating.

Die Funktionsweise der dezentralen Warmwasserstation hat den Vorteil, dass nur dann Wasser erwärmt wird, wenn es tatsächlich gebraucht wird. Zwischenspeicher entfallen dadurch ebenso wie lange Transportleitungen. Die Warmwasserleitungen werden dadurch regelmäßig komplett durchströmt und das warme Trinkwasser steht nicht im Leitungssystem.

Für Sie bedeutet dies, dass das Trinkwasser jederzeit, bedarfsgerecht, in ausreichender Menge und vor allem hygienisch sicher erwärmt wird. Ein weiterer Vorteil dieses Systems ist, dass im Vergleich zu zentralen Warmwasseranlagen die Vorlauftemperatur des Wassers deutlich geringer ist. Das bedeutet einen geringeren Energiebedarf und somit weniger CO₂ Ausstoß.

Die Verbrauchszählung des Trinkwassers erfolgt über einen Wasserzähler, der Wärmeverbrauch für die Fußbodenheizung bzw. der Warmwasserbereitung über einen Wärmemengenzähler, die sich ebenfalls in der Wohnungsstation befinden.

Wichtiger Hinweis: Unseren Haustechnikern muss im Wartungsfall der Zugang zu dieser Anlage möglich sein. Verbauen Sie den Zugang daher nicht dauerhaft, etwa durch verschraubte Verkleidungen. Aber: Gern können vor den Heizkreisverteilern Regale, Kommoden oder andere Möbel aufgestellt werden.

floor

The living rooms in the new buildings have easy-care PVC floors with a wood look. We have compiled the most important information for the correct care of these floors here.

Already knew?Around 85 percent of the dirt on the floors gets into the apartments with the street shoes. Protective mats in the entrance area make it easier for you to clean your apartment and avoid scratches on the floors. Appropriate care products: You can use all the usual household products to clean and care for the floors: brooms, vacuum cleaners, mops or wet wipes. The usual basic cleaning agents (except for scouring agents) are recommended as cleaning agents.

Care tip:Wipe the floors with a damp cloth and wring out the mop well. Stubborn stains can be removed with undiluted cleaning agent and a soft cloth and then removed with a damp cloth.

Important note:Please do not pour water in large quantities on the floor, as this will

door intercom

You can use the intercom to grant your guests access to the stairwell and simply turn away unwanted visitors. You can customize the features of the facility to your liking.

Buttons without function

Installation of kitchen cabinets

In your kitchen, there are 0.5mm thick metal reinforcements (please use metal drills) for drywall (double planked 2×12.5 mm). The reinforcements are used to attach kitchen wall units and are located at a height of approx. 1.98 - 2.23 m (H=25 cm) above the top edge of the finished floor.

Tip:We recommend that you use the following dowels/systems for installing your kitchen wall units: plastic dowels or metal dowels that engage behind, special dowels (spring snap-in dowels, toggle dowels, plasterboard dowels), injection systems

voice alarm system

Due to building regulations, the building is equipped with a voice alarm system. This can be used by the fire brigade to make announcements in emergency situations. There is a loudspeaker for this voice alarm system in the hallway of your apartment above the apartment entrance door.

Important note:The speaker must not be dismantled, painted, adjusted, covered, stuffed or modified in any other way, damaged or impaired in its intended function. Normally the speaker is mute. Due to building regulations, the voice alarm system must be serviced once a year by a specialist company. As part of the maintenance, each loudspeaker must be checked for functionality at least once a year. A signal is played (usually “subtle” music) and each loudspeaker is inspected to test its functionality. For this purpose, access to the hallway of your apartment is required after prior notification.

smoke detector

The radio smoke alarm device installed in your apartment is used for the early detection of fires and for local acoustic alarms in your apartment. Normal operation – Im

normal operation– the red light-emitting diode does not light up, and therefore no operation of the RWM is necessary.

Alarm- If smoke develops in the room air, the device alarms with a loud alarm tone and the red LED flashes every 2 seconds.

Silence- To silence the alarm for 15 minutes, including false or spoofed alarms, press the user button until the alarm tone stops and the short beep sounds. During the 15-minute period, the smoke alarm device does not trigger an acoustic alarm if smoke is detected again. In the event of a false alarm, please check the surroundings of the RWM for impairments. If there is still a fault on the RWM, please contact the free Techem hotline immediately: 0800 2 00 1264

Testing the smoke detector – You can testthe functional readiness of the smoke alarm device by pressing the user button until the signal tone sounds.

Ertönt der Signalton nicht, ist der Rauchwarnmelder defekt. Bitte wenden Sie sich in diesem Fall schnellstmöglich an die Hotline.

Der Mindestabstand zu Wänden, Einrichtungsgegenständen usw. muss 60 cm betragen (bei sehr engen Räumen, z. B. im Flur, kann der Mindestabstand im RWM bei der Montage auch geringer eingestellt worden sein).

Bitte beachten Sie: Der RWM ist zur Alarmierung von Menschen mit Hörbehinderungen unter Umständen nicht geeignet. Bitte wenden Sie sich hierzu an Ihr Kundenzentrum.

Wichtiger Hinweis: Die Ausstattung einer Mietwohnung mit einem Rauchwarnmelder ist verpflichtend. Das Entfernen Ihrerseits ist daher nicht gestattet. Sie dürfen den RWM zudem nicht öffnen, nicht in Wasser tauchen (Kurzschlussgefahr), nicht zerstören und nicht im Hausmüll entsorgen. weitere Hinweise: Der RWM ist mit einer fest eingebauten Batterie ausgestattet, deren Kapazität für die gesamte Einsatzdauer reicht. Ein Batteriewechsel ist also nicht erforderlich.

Elevator

Many of the apartments in the complex are barrier-free and accessible via the elevator. Please note: The doors are equipped with a light barrier. After three unsuccessful attempts to close the door, the control switches to "Fault". The lift can then only be put back into operation by a service technician.

Good to know:Use the call button on the outside of the elevator to keep the elevator door open for a transport.

Important note:Do not place any objects in the door area.

media distributor

In the hallway or in the room in your apartment there is a media distribution box, also known as a communication distribution box. It serves as a distribution point for the Internet, telephone and television network for your entire home.

This consists of:

Power stripto power the devices
Space with a holder for the routerthat ensures the wireless Internet connection for your home
Broadband cabledistributor for connecting the multimedia sockets in the rooms to the mFN
mini Fiber Node (mFN)for signal conversion between fiber optic and coaxial cable
Networkpatch panel for connecting the router to the network socket(s) in the room(s)
Fiber optic subscriber connection box (Gf-TA)This is where the provider's signal arrives

Note:The graphic illustration of the media distribution list on this page is only intended for schematic clarification and does not necessarily correspond to the original situation in your apartment.

overhead door closer

Some doors in the new buildings are fitted with overhead door closers. These are part of the fire protection concept and must therefore be installed. They are there to ensure that the doors do not remain open, but are always closed automatically via the overhead door closers.

Important note:Wedging the door leaf or unhinging the locking mechanism is prohibited.

sliding doors

Sliding doors were installed in some apartments. If you find sliding doors in your apartment, please make sure that they are not pushed open or closed with force or with excessive effort. Slamming the sliding doors open or slamming may cause the door stop mounted on the wall to break off. To repair this damage, the entire wall must be broken open.

Please note: Opening or slamming the sliding doors causes considerable costs in the event of damage and is therefore strictly prohibited!
