During the construction of a building, decentralized ventilation systems were installed. The presentation shows the preparation of the building with sealing bladders by InVENTer and analyses a series of pressure differential measurements. The effectiveness of the ventilation system is documented wit CO2 measurements...

Over the past years, the industry has launched a great number of products facilitating the airtight installation of sanitary fixtures in the airtight building envelope. However, the pre-wall mounting racks of cisterns remain a “key point” for assessing the airtightness of pre-walls. As part of the rehabilitation of an indoor swimming pool, “airtight”...

The policy instruments have been analysed mainly through information collected and discussions within the TightVent Airtightness Associations Committee, and with a literature review. Additional work is foreseen in the last quarter of 2016 to provide the symposium audience relevant information, in particular, through on-line questionnaires...

The German Industrial Standard DIN 4108-7 has been the standard to stipulate the requirements as well as recommendations for planning and implementing airtight construction for a long time (since 2001). However, the principles of airtight building have not yet been well established in general building practice...

Many top-floor apartments and single-family homes from the ’80s and ’90s had been insulated in the roof area using aluminum-clad panels or PE foils and had frequently been covered with profiled wood. These buildings suffer from a significant lack of airtightness that can be retrofitted from the inside with a high technical quality...

This paper discusses laboratory measurements on a small test house. IRT measurements and (de)pressurization tests were performed on different types of junctions, e.g. at the window-wall interface. The results were analysed by calculating the temperature factor, to compare IRT images from different joints...

When it comes to evaluating the quality of building work, technical and legal perspectives often clash. This is probably particularly true when it comes to evaluating the airtightness of building envelopes. This presentation is an attempt at clearing up frequent misunderstandings and at formulating questions that would help to...
TightVent Europe and the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre are organizing the webinar "Building airtightness improvements of the building stock - Analysis of European databases" to be held on Tuesday January 19th, 2021 at 10:00-11:15 (CET). The webinar aims at presenting three major European databases (in the UK, Flanders and France) and also at comparing their structures and their measurement data acquisition protocols. Weaknesses and strengths in the different aspects of the existing database setups will be identified.
