AbstractAbout AuthorsReferences
The analysis of air permeability of modern PVC and aluminum windows is made. On the basis of several independent testing laboratories more than 50 samples of modern window blocks made of PVC and combined profiles of aluminum alloys used in mass civil construction were studied. The key factors affecting the air permeability of modern window blocks were analyzed. The conformity assessment of the tested window blocks with the RF regulations in force was made. It was found that the air permeability of modern window blocks significantly exceeds the current regulatory requirements for thermal protection and energy efficiency of buildings. It was found that there is no binding of window air permeability to the wind load calculated values. The perspective approach to appointment of air permeability indicators of windows for climatic conditions of the Russian Federation was considered. It is based on the account of their actual operation under winter conditions, as well as the differentiation of regulatory requirements for the air permeability of windows depending on the region of construction, functional purpose and operation mode of premises of the designed building.
