ISOVER Passivhaus Engl.

nd climate protection
in constructive harmony.
The solution: innovative, individual, international.
It nearly goes without saying that
with this ambitious project of converting
a dilapidated tobacco barn
into a comfortable passive house,
it was not always possible to
deploy "off-the-peg" construction
solutions. Frequently, it was standalone
developments, masterly
workmanship and constant quality
controls that produced the desired
results. Just a few examples: As a
screed substitute, a raised floor
system was used, newly developed
by ISOVER Austria and consisting
of 32 mm chipboard with an additional
100 mm cavity fill made of
facade insulation boards Kontur FSP
1-040. The interior insulation of the
dormer cladding was done with the
ROSATWIST system by ISOVER
France. To achieve maximum tightness
for the interfaces between wall
construction and concrete members,
joint sealing tubes developed by
ISOVER in Sweden were used.
The triple thermal insulation glazing
Climatop V was contributed by
SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS in Aachen.
With the help of WUFI, a calculation
program developed at the
Fraunhofer Institute for Building
Physics, the hygrothermal performance
of the construction was
successfully tested.
