Technical status of ventilation systems in residential buildings

This national project focuses on the objective description of the quality of ventilation systems installed in Austria. In order to guarantee the objective evaluation of ventilation systems a comprehensive catalogue for quality criteria was developed. Finally 55 quality criteria were established and their relevance and importance were explained. They can be used as a guideline for the dimensioning and/or implementation of future systems.

klima:aktiv house / klima:aktiv passive house

Within the klima:aktiv house program a criteria catalogue was developed in order to guarantee quality standards in new built residential buildings. The criteria refer to the planning and construction, the energy performance, the building materials and components and the indoor climate of the building. The certification of the building is performed after the planning phase as well as after the construction phase. Based on these criteria a new catalogue concerning retrofit standards will be established in the next years within another klima:aktiv program: www.wohnmodern.klimaaktiv.at
