(Under the QREN Project)
The Blower Door Test is a test that checks whether the building has air leakage or meets the requirements corresponding to the air-tightness defined by the Passive House.
In the exercise of PHPP was defined as leakage parameter 0.6 Renewals Time 50 Pa, which corresponds to the ceiling allowed by the Passive House standard.
However, the Passive House Institute requires this value to be fulfilled so that the house be tested through a door blower test (Blower Door) that puts the house in depression thus forcing the air leaks that may exist and can thus be easily identified.For these requirements are met at the end of construction is always advisable that one or more tests at different stages of finishing.
Once placed the first layer of cardboard and placed plaster the sealing tapes at all weak points (links) defined the first stage of the blower door test to be identified and corrected existing air infiltration in the outdoor environment.
In this first test were identified and corrected existing air infiltration in the outdoor environment.
After the sensitivities corrected the House Modiko® Passive House is ready for placement of the second plasterboard layer.
