Course content

When it comes to airtightness, you often hear about mould or the demand for „breathable houses“. Both reservations can be refuted – when done correctly, airtightness ensures that a lot of heating costs can be saved. That's why we'll start by explaining the impact of airtightness and why it's so important.

Unlike the statutory minimum standard, particularly good airtightness is even a MUST in highly efficient buildings such as those built to the passive house standard. Here, stricter requirements apply to the implementation and results of the differential pressure method in accordance with DIN EN 13829 / ISO 9972, which is used to measure the airtightness of the building. How the procedures work and what influence the result has is discussed in detail.

In the second part, we will examine what you need to consider during planning and execution to ensure that the building is completely and permanently airtight.

The German Energy Agency (dena) recognises the "Airtightness" learning module with 6 UE (teaching units).
