LoginID is a design procedure that considers the building as a whole system with the aim of optimizing it throughout the lifecycle.

Market transformation towards nearly zero energy buildings through widespread use of integrated energy design | 2013 | English
Comparison of different airtightness and air exchange rate measurements in very small test building | 2013 | English
The airtightness of the building envelope was studied in field measurements in recently constructed experimental small test buildings.
CETE de Lyon gives support to French administration for thermal regulation definition and enforcement. They must therefore work on measurements in order to set appropriate requirements and give advice to professionals about building methods.
Application of blower door measurements IN the evaluation of workmanship influence in airtightness | 2013 | English
A large social housing retrofitting program was implemented in Porto, Portugal, a mild climate region. One of the features of that program was the upgrade of windows and ventilation systems.
Durability and measurement uncertainty of airtightness in extremely airtight dwellings | 2013 | English
In this paper we present a series of leakage tests on extremely airtight dwellings (ACH50 < 0.6 upon completion) in which the durability of the airtightness and the measurement uncertainty involved are assessed.
The paper presents a calculation method for the combined standard uncertainty associated with the buildings airtightness measurement done in accordance with the ISO standard 9972:2006 (or EN 13829).
Detailed analysis of regulatory compliance controls of 1287 dwellings ventilation systems | 2013 | English
Ventilation’s historical goal has been to assure sufficient air change rates in buildings from a hygienic point of view. Regarding its potential impact on energy consumption, ventilation is being reconsidered.
A stochastic approach to predict the relationship between dwelling permeability and infiltration in English appartments | 2013 | English
Reducing adventitious infiltration in order to save energy is important and is highlighted by the building standards of many countries. This operational infiltration is often inferred via the measurement of the air leakage rate at a pressure diff
Pushed at first by the labels backed onto the 2005 French energy performance (EP) regulation, and later on by the 2012 energy performance regulation, which imposes envelope airtightness requirements for any new dwellings, and pulled by a growing i
Control of airtightness quality management scheme in France: Results, lessons and future developments | 2013 | English
Since January 1st 2013, the French energy performance (EP) regulation requires building airtightness level to be justified to a lower-than-required value. These requirements represent an important change in the airtightness market.
Airtightness Quality Management scheme in France: Assessment after 5 years operation | 2013 | English
From 2006 till 2012, the 2005 energy performance (EP) regulation (RT 2005) did not entail any obligation to justify the envelope airtightness level.
