Hi,

I have another question related to Heating Design. How can I decrease External Infiltration, which results too high (almost the same as glazing heat losses).
The construction template I used is Best practise - mediumweight, which contains Crack template as excellent.

Thank you in advance for answer.

Daniel

Hi Daniel

Infiltration is actually user-specified and you can set it using the controls under the 'Air tightness' header on the Model Data Construction tab. You can switch it off completely or set the air change rate to the required value.

Regards

Steve
