🔍 Exploring the pivotal role of airtightness within Passivhaus design is crucial for understanding contemporary energy efficiency standards. Ratio Seven’s insightful article highlights the importance of airtightness in meeting these rigorous standards, offering key takeaways for professionals. #RatioSeven #Airtightness #Passivhaus 📌 **Passivhaus Standards** Originating from Germany, Passivhaus standards set the global benchmark for energy-efficient buildings. They emphasise low energy consumption, superior thermal comfort, and optimal indoor air quality. 📌 **The Imperative of Airtightness** - **Energy Efficiency:** Minimises warm air loss and reduces energy bills. - **Thermal Comfort:** Promotes consistent indoor temperatures. - **Air Quality:** Keeps pollutants and allergens at bay. 📌 **Achieving Airtightness** Meeting standards requires high airtightness, measured by air changes per hour (ACH). Verification is performed via the 'blower door' method, crucial for detecting air leaks. 📌 **Benefits** - **Cost Reduction**: Decreasing energy usage leads to lower utility bills. - **Improved Comfort**: Stable indoor climates with fewer drafts. - **Sustainability**: Lesser carbon footprint enhances eco-friendliness. 💬 How is airtightness impacting your current projects? Let's discuss! 🚀 #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableDesign
