Hello dear forum,
We are building a prefabricated house with a ventilation system. Today we had our blower door test, and the result was n50=1.13. The site manager said this is within the standard (max. 1.5). Regarding the conditions:
The building envelope is in place, but the skirt is still missing—that is, the material that is attached to the base slab.
What do you think about this value? As the homeowner, do I have the option to request an improvement in the result?
Thanks and best regards

I’m skeptical about these airtight houses sealed like Tupperware, which are then "opened up" again with ventilation systems or trickle vents in window frames. I wouldn’t be surprised if this building method ends up as just a passing trend in construction history. Nida35a schrieb:
Living in a thermos flask,
wondering about condensation and mold,
coming home five times a day to air out,
and controlled mechanical ventilation being treated like the holy grail—
how did our ancestors even survive?
Pure comedy. The strange thing with these water closets probably won’t catch on either. Such a silly trend; a little walk outside in the yard has never harmed anyone. Just modern fancy nonsense.

At least the wood from the outhouse was nice and warm, unlike the ceramic with the plastic rim.Unfortunately, I’ve already ordered it. A classic case of being persuaded by the sample advisor. :P

No, it really solved one problem but created another.
Outdoor toilet removed – who still had one of those?
Water closet installed – too cold in winter without heating
So, added heating afterward

Ultimately, it depends on each individual's personal perception. That is what really matters when it comes to living, and as long as I feel comfortable with my own choice, I don't mind what others do for themselves. They are free to do whatever they feel is right for them, as long as they don’t try to impose their views on me.
This applies equally to all other areas of life.
