REASONS FOR PRODUCING LEAFLET “VENTILATION OF THE WELL“
There are no standards or guidelines available to define the requirements for the ventilation of the well. There were many questions from architects or building planers of low energy buildings giving the indication to define the interface to the building. Therefore, VSA created a leaflet providing the necessary information with different possibilities for the ventilation.
The leaflet is available in French, Italian and German.
