Wood Based Building Envelope Regarding Air Tightness

Abstract:

The paper deals with laboratory air tightness testing of wood based construction materials with the focus on the proportion of air infiltration through the building envelope in the air exchange of the building. Results of the specific materials testing – cross laminated timber (CLT), OSB and other structural materials are analysed in the paper. Moreover, the effect of production technology, material, its thickness and surface treatment are studied. Results of laboratory testing provide valuable data for detailed computer modelling of air exchange through the infiltration, especially in vapour diffusion-open elements of building envelope.
