There are drafts throughout our house. Therefore, we had a blower door test conducted, which surprisingly showed good results. For the professionals: only 0.83 1/h.
However, the thermal imaging camera revealed significant heat loss around the window reveals. Our energy consultant recorded temperatures below 12.6°C (55°F) with an outdoor temperature of 20°C (68°F). Should this be considered a defect? The windows still have one year of warranty remaining.

This way, the issue was identified, and it was located between the window and the wall.
