Diagnostics and optimalization of airtightness in experimental wooden structures

conference paper

Czech

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.
