Well-Insulated Airtight Buildings: Design and Construction
The study comprised seven bungalows with attics, each having a floor area of 138 m exp 2 . The foundations consist of concrete slabs on ground, while the wood frames are loadbearing. Wood panels are used for cladding, and the roofs are covered with corrugated metal decking. Mineral wool was used for thermal insulation and polyethylene sheets as vapor barrier. The junction between the wall and the floor was carefully made airtight; the airtightness was checked by pressure-testing. The number of airchanges/h was found to be between 0.67 and 0.86 for the seven buildings. Ventilation is performed mechanically by an exhaust-air system. Annual energy saving should be about 8,000 to 10,000 kWh under normal operating conditions, when compared to comparable buildings constructed in the early 1970s. (ERA citation 04:023630)
