Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents a demonstration study showing the design and construction details necessary to achieve specified building envelope airtightness performance criteria. It follows the design and construction process and advises on modifications necessary to achieve the target specifications. The study is based on two buildings with quite different end uses and airtightness specification - an archival storage facility and air conditioned high-tech office building and provides generalized advice for designing-out leakage paths and eradicating those that unavoidably occur.
