 Besides the basic principles, the following guidelines are helpful for successful planning of the airtightness – whether for a new construction or for a refurbishment of an old building (based on [[planning:refurbishment_with_passive_house_components:thermal_envelope:airtightness:special_features_in_modernisations#Literature|[Feist 1995] ]]): Besides the basic principles, the following guidelines are helpful for successful planning of the airtightness – whether for a new construction or for a refurbishment of an old building (based on [[planning:refurbishment_with_passive_house_components:thermal_envelope:airtightness:special_features_in_modernisations#Literature|[Feist 1995] ]]):
