Building and ductwork airtightness regulations in various countries

Duration:

2022

Status:

On-going

In 2008 a series of Ventilation Information Papers (VIP 17 to VIP 27) were published detailing the “Trends in the building ventilation market and drivers for changes” for 10 countries.

Regulations have however evolved a lot in most countries since then.

The aim of this project is to develop a new VIP series, in collaboration with the TightVent Europe platform and TAAC Committee (TightVent Airtightness Associations Committee), and get an update on the current regulations in various countries regarding building and ductwork airtightness (another series of VIPs is at the same time in preparation and will deal with the ventilation part).
