Despite their favourable A/V ratio, large multifamily residential buildings in Czech Republic often show worse airtightness (n50, qE50 or both) than small single-family passive houses erected by means of similar construction methods The analyses presented point out several reasons behind...

Trotz ihres günstigen A/V-Verhältnisses weisen große Mehrfamilienhäuser in der Tschechischen Republik häufig eine schlechtere Luftdichtheit (n50, qE50 oder beides) auf als kleine Einfamilien- Passivhäuser, die mit ähnlichen Baumethoden errichtet wurden. Die vorgestellten...

Germany has already garnered some experience with serial refurbishments of its existing building stock. When mounting a heat-insulating building envelope during serial modernization you usually incorporate an airtight barrier as well. First of all, however, the question arises as to where to install...

Mit der seriellen Sanierung von Altbauten wurden und werden in Deutschland bereits erste Erfahrungen gemacht. Die Anbringung einer seriell konzipierten wärmedämmenden Gebäudehülle schließt die Herstellung einer luftdichten Schicht in der Regel ein. Es stellt sich allerdings zunächst die grundlegende Frage...

Buildings account for a substantial portion of global energy consumption, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are responsible for approximately 40% of the buildings’ energy consumption. A building façade, with HVAC, has a great influence on the internal environment. An optimization of the façade design and operation can help improve building energy efficiency.

Following the pandemic of Covid-19, the scientific interest in ventilation rate of buildings, and especially in spaces with high occupancy, has increased. The creation of a healthy and acceptable internal environment, especially at workplaces is considered necessary, both to deal with the sick building syndrome, or the spread of various diseases, as well as to improve the comfort of employees.
