The AIVC is preparing a series of VIP on national regulations and trends in airtightness for various countries (numbered VIP 45.XX), detailing for both building and ductwork airtightness:
- the national requirements and drivers (regulations, incentives, justifications and sanctions)
- whether it is taken into account in the energy performance calculations and how;
- the test protocol (testers qualifications, national guidelines, requirements on measuring devices);
- the tests already performed and whether there is a results database;
- key documents.
This presentation focuses on the airtightness trends in Belgium. More information can be found in VIP 45.4.
