Airtightness requirements for high-performance buildings
This paper was presented at the AIVC conference, held in Berlin, Germany, in October 2009. Based on the work in the project ASIEPI, it presents an overview on the existing airtightness requirements in different European countries and the US. These requirements are opposed to airtightness requirements for high performance buildings in Germany (passive house), France (effinergie label) and the US (energysmart home, RESNET). Measurements of the envelope airtightness right after construction and some years later show the practicability of the requirements.
