Abstract
In Switzerland, 70 % of building refurbishments are realised in stages. When only a window replacement is
done, the new airtight windows can lead to a reduced infiltration air exchange and subsequently there may
be moisture issues, e.g. mould. The integration of passive window ventilation openings (PWVO) with
additional exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom(s) can ensure a user-independent basic air change rate.
PWVO can be defined as small air inlets integrated in or near the window frame. These inlets enable a basic
air exchange due to the pressure difference between inside and outside. This project is focused on how well
buildings with PWVO work in real life.
