Purpose of the work
Purpose of the work
Ductwork and envelope leakage diagnostic, impact analysis and improvements in an airport control tower | 2017 | English
Purpose of the work
Purpose of the workMany ventilation systems do not work efficiently, because their airflow rates have not been correctly adjusted and due to leakages of the ventilation ducts and individual elements.
Purpose of the work
For several years, multifunctional tapes have increasingly been used for the airtight installation of windows in new buildings or renovation projects. The adhesive tapes are wrapped around the window on three or four sides.
Zonal pressure testing of a dwelling and leakage evaluation – Experience with the thermal anemometer | 2017 | English
Purpose of the workTo describe the effectiveness of the thermal anemometer device in assisting airtightness testers to evaluate leakage zones, and specific leakages.Method of approach
The information about uncertainly is essential to correct interpretation of any measurement. Therefore, several authors investigated the reproducibility and repeatability of airtightness measurement during the last years.
