Diagnostics and Optimization of Airtightness in Experimental Wooden Structures

Abstract

This contribution summarizes the authors’ experience in the field of undesired permeability in experimental wooden structures. The path to nearly perfect insulation leads through the successful identification of defects during the building process. Defects are best detected by using precise measuring tools prior to covering air-tight surfaces of the structure, followed by careful insulation and repeated measurements. An experimental wooden structure has undergone this process a total of eight times. The measuring team has recorded multiple incidents of permeability on this structure. For this reason, added attention is focused on suggesting solutions for improved reliability in the area of insulation.

Analysis of Energy Consumption in Building with NZEB Concept

“…13) for the field of electric energy of the analyzed building. It is caused by a lower usability of the solar energy source in the winter season and, conversely, its higher non-usability in the summer season, which makes up the basic problem in applying these concepts in the form of their storage [12]. With regard to the fact that the building was designed with the concept of a nearly zero energy building, the actual energy demand and the user's payments for supplied energy are very high (Fig.…”

Vzduchotesnosť Moderných Drevostavieb

“…U týchto stavieb tvorí vzduchotesnú vrstvu, práve izolačná fólia alebo iné vzduchotesné materiály ako niektoré druhy OSB dosiek s povrchovou úpravou. Kvalita vyhotovenia vzduchotesnej vrstvy ako hlavne druh a prelepenie spoja izolácií a napojenie zvislých vzduchotesných vrstiev na vodorovné sa priamo odrazí na celkovej vzduchotesnosti budovy [3].…”

Issues of Indoor Climate Discomfort in Light Wooden Low-Energy Houses
