In this way, the reliability of the measurement results is significantly improved, with a minimum of extra effort. Finally, the airtightness parameter of the building is determined as an average value from the negative and excess pressure results.|**Measurement with negative __and__ excess pressure**| | + | |**Negative AND excess pressure measurement**\\ Unlike in the ISO 9972 standards, both negative pressure AND excess pressure are generally required when measuring the airtightness in Passive Houses.
