8 October 2013, Webinar – Building Airtightness Solutions: System approach and characterisation of air barrier and moisture management systems

Submitted by on Fri, 01/14/2022 - 12:05

While building airtightness is a key concern in Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings in most European climates, there exists already a wide range of commercially-available products specifically designed to minimise leakage in building envelopes. The objective of this webinar was to give information on the performance and properties of these products based on research including laboratory and field tests. The speakers also provided information on standards already published and under development on this subject.

The natural pressure differential – Wind infiltration. Results from a long-term measurement

Submitted by on Thu, 01/28/2021 - 18:04

The pressure differential at the building envelope results from wind pressure and thermal lift. European and German standards include in the calculation of corresponding infiltration the parameters wind speed, temperature differential, and the wind pressure coefficient from building inflow and outflow. This long-term measurement is...

The status quo of airtight building in Germany

Submitted by on Thu, 01/28/2021 - 18:01

What is the status quo of airtight building in Germany? Are we well on our way or still far from the target? What about measuring practice in Germany? Should we concentrate on the documentation of measurement results or is it more important to exert a positive influence on the building process overall? Which requirements and targets...
