Remove Draughts:
Research shows that up to half of all heat loss in buildings can be due to uncontrolled ventilation and air leakage through the external fabric of the building envelope. Despite increased insulation values due to improved building regulations, warm air can leak out and cold air can still enter through joints in the building fabric in the form of draughts. The main air leakage points that attention should be paid to are:
- Joints between walls, roofs and ceilings
- Joints between foundation and wood structure in timberframe
- Overlaps and interruption of membranes
- Joints between walls and window/door frames
- Penetrations in the external envelope – pipes, cables etc.
- Unplastered blockwork, such as between intermediate timber floor joists
A well installed airtightness system is the control of this air leakage.
