Building airtightness is not a new topic of interest. Already in the seventies of the lastcentury, intense work was done regarding building airtightness in the Nordiccountries. In the Air Information Review of August 1980 (ref.

Diese Studie berichtet über Lüftungsmessungen und die Ergebnisse von Bewohnerbefragungen von 102 neu errichteten Einfamilienhäusern in Finland.
Die Untersuchung der QHA (Qualitätsgemeinschaft Holzbau und Ausbau e.V.) vergleicht und bewertet am Beispiel an einem gebauten Referenzhaus die energetische und wirtschaftliche Effizienz aktueller Haustechniksysteme mit Wohnungslüftung.
Die Nachfrage nach Luftdichtheitsmessungen in Wohngebäuden steigt. Somit wächst auch das Interesse an Luftdichtheitsmessungen in Mehrfamilienhäusern.
The investigation of the QHA (quality community timber construction anddevelopment, registered association) compare and evaluate by the example of a builtreference house the energetic and economic efficiency of current building servicessystems wit
Measuring standard ISO 9972 (edition May 2006) - differences to the measuring standard EN 13829 (German edition February 2001) as well as state of the treatment of the DIN 4108 - 7 | 2007 | English
In May 2006 the international measuring standard ISO 9972 was published. Itreplaces the first edition from the year 1996 and is in large parts identicall with theEN 13829:2000, which in Germany was published as DIN EN 13829 in February2001.
This study reports ventilation measurement and occupant questionnaire results fromnewly built 102 Finnish detached houses. The results show that ventilation units wereused constantly and the fan speed setting was changed very seldom.
Energetische Überarbeitung von Gebäuden im Bestand: BlowerDoor- Prüfungen und Infrarot-Thermografie als Entscheidungshilfen für Sanierungsmaßnahmen | 2007 | German
Steigende Energiepreise zwingen auch behördliche Betreiber von größeren Gebäuden über energetische Verbesserungen nachzudenken, denn den auf die Bürger umzulegenden Kosten sind allmählich Grenzen gesetzt.
Do the generally recognized rules of the technology require a controlled ventilation in dwellings? | 2007 | English
Due to practiced building practice in the past decades the preservation of a sufficientroom air quality usually proved as unproblematic. The necessary air-change wasalready regularly ensured by the so called free ventilation of dwellings, i.e.
What is a pure area? In the case of the production of smallest structures, e.g. in productionof microprocessors, or in the clinical range, e.g.
Bei der Herstellung kleinster Strukturen, z.B. in der Produktion von Mikroprozessoren, oder im klinischen Bereich, z.B. in Operationssälen, können sich folgenschwere Probleme durch Verunreinigungen in der Luft ergeben.
Luftdichtheitsmessungen in Laborräumen zur Sicherstellung geringer Feinstaubbelastungen | 2007 | German
Fertigungs- und Entwicklungsprozesse in der Elektroindustrie (Microchips), der Feinstwerktechnik (Kleinste Bauelemente mit hoher Präzision), der Medizinforschung und der Lebensmitteltechnik sowie auch Operationssäle erfordern Labore bzw.
DIN 1946 – 6Developement of a ventilation concept, instructions and calculationmethodology for architects and planners with consideration of thebuilding airtightness | 2007 | English
The interrelation between requirement and implementation and/or realization of theventilation technique is represented in fig. 9 exemplarily for a building, similar to theexample from DIN 4108 - 6 with and ventilated effective area by 205,6 m2.
Die Thermografie ist ein hilfreiches Mittel bei der Sichtbarmachung von Leckagen an der Wind- und Luftdichtheitsebene.
Thermography is a helpful means at the visualisation of leakages on the wind and airtightness level.
The demand for airtightness measurements in residential buildings rises. Thus alsothe interest in airtightness measurements in multi-family resindences grows.
Schornsteinhinterlüftung und Rauchabzugsöffnung von Aufzugsschächten -lassen sich solche technisch motivierten Lecks vermeiden? | 2007 | German
Das Wissen, wie Bauteilanschlüsse luftdicht hergestellt werden, ist inzwischen relativ verbreitet – zumindest unter den interessierten Bauschaffenden.
Airtightness in the steel lightweight construction - building envelopes in sandwich construction | 2007 | English
The airtightness of buildings gains in importance ever more for the planning ofbuildings.
A ‘standard’, as a quick look in a dictionary will tell us, is an ambiguous term: whereas technical standards refer to expertly developed and scientifically reasoned yardsticks for a comparative assessment of quality, legal standards refer to rule
