It is said that the wood is going on living even after being chopped down. It is true. Billions of cells that earlier served the water balance of the wood, after intensive drying with the proper technology, accumulates and absorbs then radiates the transmitted temperature and humidity. The wood breaths.
The marvels of modern science enable to imitate the ideas and solutions of the nature.
In my childhood in cold winters, when we had to put on gumboots ,as we
had no other choice, we rolled newspaper around our feet and one sheet
was enough to keep it warm. The cellulose plasticine is made of
cellulose based recycled paper.
The trick is in the structure of the material, which is porous and the
billions of small air bubbles produce a phantastic insulation ability.
Just like wood. Using the air as a medium it regulates humidity and
temperature in a natural way. We can measure the insulation quality of both the well and poorly insulated houses.
Measuring
Nowadays we can measure almost everything. So we do with a house. We can measure its volume or even its weight. It is though not essential in our point of view. The question is that how can we keep the artificially produced warmth.
With the help of the Blower Door measuring, it is possible to measure exactly what the insulation of a house is like. The construction mistake is becoming recognizable, the poorly fitting doors and windows are to be revealed and the efficiency of the air conditioning systems can be shown. With a ventilator (35-7.200m3/h), which we build in a door or window we create a 50 Pascal vacuum in the closed house. Under the decreased pressure the faults can be seen with a thermo anemometer.
Other possibility of measuring we adopt cloud generator which immediately shows the uninsulated, draughty points.
The results of the measuring will be valued and a solution given. The most efficient and essential instrument is the Thermocamera. Applying a high technology it reveals the hidden and deficient points.
Thermocamera
The given results must be put down properly. This document is called Energypass. .
Such a document includes the name of the house owner, address and building date of the house. It contains the qualification of the house which differs 2 basic levels. One of the old and one of the newly built houses. Further classifications are included on the grounds of quality such as the houses built of uninsulated bricks and concrete construction as the lowest level and the leading level with the so called „passive houses”.
This document proves the quality of the insulation showing the energy use, through which the market value of the house is to estimate.
I guess that I do not have to prove that for a car, examined on a MOT, with a falling apart undercarriage, bad air-conditioning, a weak engine, „consuming” oil none pays as much for it as for a similar aged but perfect car
