Adunoh198317 Dec 2019 19:49Hello, we are having a house built: a KfW 40 wooden frame house without a ventilation system.
Today I received the results from the blower door test.
Result: 1.7
With two indications of air leakage points
Due to the construction, all inspection openings of the roller shutters are not airtight.
And there is a hole in the vapor barrier membrane of the ceiling between floors, which could cause moisture issues in the insulation layer.
The test is passed—do I have to accept it this way?
I am a complete beginner and appreciate any advice.

You may have to accept the passed test, but all construction defects should be corrected, especially regarding the vapor barrier.
How far along is the construction? Is the interior cladding already installed on it?
Conduct a second test during or after defect repair.

Yes, everything has already been clad from the inside... The test was done a month ago, but I only received the results now...

boxandroof17 Dec 2019 19:59Was it only clad or plastered in the meantime?
Have the defects been corrected?

Adunoh198317 Dec 2019 20:05No, it was already plastered and covered before...
The photos documented the holes where the electrical cables come out of the ceiling for lamps or spotlights.
I don't think anything has been fixed...
But I will call the construction company tomorrow...
But they have to fix the documented issues, right?
