I'm planning to install a decentralized ventilation system with heat recovery.

My apartment has:

• 2 bedrooms (not a priority for now)
• 1 bathroom (I'll handle this separately with an exhaust fan)
• An open-plan area consisting of the kitchen, dining room, living room, and hallway, around 40–50 m²

The main goal is to have consistently fresh, clean air in the open-plan area. That's where I would like to install the ventilation system.

What would you recommend? Which decentralized HRV/ERV system would be the best fit for this kind of space?

I also have a question about humidity. If the outdoor air is very humid, does an ERV bring that humidity indoors? Or does it help reduce the amount of moisture entering the apartment?

My priorities are:

1. Fresh, clean air at all times
2. Good heat recovery efficiency

Any recommendations or real-world experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
