Research on airtightness of wooden buildings published
/0 Comments/in News /by Ivana DuchoňováFor several years, the Timber Research Institute, together with experts from the CTU and ČZU, has been collecting and evaluating data from measurements of the airtightness of buildings. This unique statistical data set was compiled, analysed and published in the prestigious scientific journal Building and Environment, issue 194. The use of the Blower door diagnostic method, which the Timber Research Institute carries out in an accredited mode, has been shown to contribute significantly to improving the performance of timber buildings. Therefore, one of the indirect results of the research is the confirmation of the well-known truth that prevention (using scientific knowledge) is better than subsequent complex and costly repair.

This research was supported by the Grant Agency of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, CTU in Prague (projects SGS19/143/OHK1/3T/11 and SGS20/153/OHK1/3T/11) and the Grant Agency of the Timber Research and Development Institute in Prague (project TIP/IGA/1/2019).
Certification of ADMD members more rigorously supervised by the Timber Research Institute
/0 Comments/in News /by Ivana DuchoňováThe certification process of ADMD (Association of Prefabricated House Contractors) members has long been carried out by the Timber Research Institute. This year, the quality requirements for some of the construction processes of houses according to the DNK document have been increased. Engineers at the Timber Research Institute have drafted modifications to the certification document and will continue to monitor compliance with the requirements for the manufacture and assembly of timber buildings.
