The need for structured air leakage databases in energy conservation in buildings policies
Friday 25 May 2012 | 15.30-17:30 (Brussels, BE) – 14.30-16.30 (London, UK) – 09.30-11.30 (Washington, DC) – 06.30-8.30 (San Francisco, CA)
There are several initiatives to collect building airtightness data from field measurements whose number increases rapidly with the trend towards low-energy buildings. The objective of this webinar was to give an overview of the needs identified in several countries and reasons behind the development of air leakage databases.
