 For the Tevesstrasse project in Frankfurt am Main (multi-storey building with a total of 53 apartments), which was refurbished using Passive House components, a comparison of the airtightness values measured before and after the modernisation measures demonstrated the effectiveness of the concept developed at an early stage and its successful implementation. Comparison of the airtightness values in Figure 1 shows an improvement by a factor of 10: the average value of 4.4 has been reduced to 0.46 h<sup>-1</sup>. This illustrates the huge progress made in the area of the airtight envelope in these buildings. In this refurbishment, besides the systematic improvement of the building envelope, this was in part due to the fact that there were no longer any air vents in the kitchens, which have previously been used for supplying air to the coal burning stoves.

 The importance of developing a concept for airtightness at an early stage of step-by-step modernisation will be explained here using an example.

 A typical problem arising during modernisation is the lack of clarity regarding the course of the airtight layer. In a rough concept the "pencil rule" principle must be applied, in which the uninterrupted airtight layer is clearly specified by the architect in all cross sections (Figure 12). In the ensuing detailed planning, detailed solutions with information about the materials used must be prepared for all transitions and connections. Only in this way will it be possible to ensure that solutions exist and that craftpersons are given clear instructions for executing the work.

 Using this example case and the results of the airtightness measurements and leak detection, the need for a comprehensive concept for airtightness is clearly evident.  This must be prepared at the start, before any of the modernisation measures. For this, it is necessary to have a detailed record of the current state of all relevant points, and the exact position of the airtight layer must then be specified in the concept (sketch). Finally a solution must be developed for all connections and transitions, using a detail drawing if necessary, and the materials to be used for these points and connections must be specified.
