A thermally conductive building envelope must be constructed to be permanently airtight - this has been compulsory according to German building regulations…
According to the recent conclusions of the 'Grenelle de l’Environnement', the energy performance of buildings has become very recently a major concern in…
The Blower Door procedure has shown itself to be a very effective instrument for analysing and quantifying the various components of the total problem for…
High standards of airtightness for building envelopes protect occupants against common outdoor air pollutants - especially pollen and mildew spores that…
Every building must be airtight, and this airtightness is guaranteed by the building envelope. The necessary air change does not happen through the building…
Conventional techniques for the measurement of adventitious leakage of building envelopes are based on steady pressurisation at high pressures (e.g. 50 Pa)…
Mould during the construction phase must be recognised by all those involved in the project as a defect that can usually, but not always, be avoided. Mould…
At the start of the measurements, the airtightness of the box was determined, achieving an n50 value of 0.79. Then the airtightness was progressively…
Implementing the EU-directive 2002/91/EF in Danish legislation led to regulations in the Danish Building Regulations on air tightness in buildings set out…
In all areas, concern is growing on the rising numbers of mould occurrences in residential buildings. A new survey has provided statistically reliable…
Good envelope airtightness is a prerequisite for energy efficiency and effective ventilation of buildings. Through the implementation of specific national…
For preselected totals of dwelling houses this article describes how statistical procedures on basis of small samples can be transferred into the prognosis…
This paper will present current procedures on the main amendments in the forthcoming Energieeinsparverordnung (German energy-saving ordinance) for 2009, as…
The importance of an airtight building envelope will, with growing awareness of energy efficiency in all European countries, continue to increase.…
Thermography is often used to locate leaks in connection with an airtightness check. In this context it is important to know under what conditions the…
This paper starts with a short explanation of how sick buildings and mould were, brought to the focus of the general public in 1993. The media have played a…
