Airtightness the missing piece of previous generation homes. Airtightness is being recognised as a key component to manage building longevity, better air quality, and better performance in maintaining comfort. In this Passive House-Net Zero Carbon home video we compare a modern project, which has endeavoured to create a better high performing building envelope, compared to one that had more emphasis on positioning, double glazing and insulation consistency only.

Kudos to Mark for the work he has put in.
You can get fixated on the ACH number and the target you have in your mind.
But even at 1.7ACH it is a great result and far beyond a standard build!
We have been in our house since July this year and I spent a full weekend with a blower door unit finding the little remaining leaks before the plaster went on, but I could not get it down below 1.8 until I realised I have the wrong volume set!!
Once I change the settings, bingo .8ACH. I think having it incorrect made me work harder to find all the small ones!
You guys are such a great Australian resource for home design and efficiency. Keep up the great work! I hope you are able to get the house down to the passiv haus standards of .6 ach.
It is exciting. Double studs, double membranes, double insulations.
Max Young Double or nothing! 💵 👌
Very interesting and informative. Would love to learn more about the roofing detail and insulation especially when how to avoid thermal bringing. In part 2 could you please cover this in more detail. Keep up the great work.
All new buildings or retrofits need to be energy efficient.
Energy efficiency saves energy and that saves money on utilities month after month, year after year..
It also makes the home or building more comfortable.
Air sealing, super insulation, triple pane windows, energy efficient doors, high efficiency heating and air conditioning systems, high efficiency appliances, set back thermostats, LED lighting, solar panels, battery storage and a 220 outlet in the garage for a electric vehicle charger. Driving your car powered by the sun is a great feeling and saves money. All these items need to be considered in any new build or retrofit.
This is great thank you.
Is Aerobarrier not available in your area? The chasing of leaks would drive me nuts. If you haven't seen Aerobarrier look them up. It seals up holes during the pressurizing process.
Excellent video series. You're doing a great service providing this information.
One question: why the need for both internal and external wrap for air tightness? If air tightness could be achieved with external wrap alone, then perhaps the wall service cavity would not be needed.
It’s always best to have your best air barrier on the warm side of the wall system. Stops moisture getting into your wall cavity.
