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

Thanks for the clarification; I’d rather appreciate the empathy shown by advertisers. I’m learning every day...

Oh dear... it just doesn’t stop... and I foolishly thought I was a free decision-maker.

Well, that’s probably mostly because of the chimney... in a passive house...
And I’m never giving up my controlled mechanical ventilation system, just like I won’t give up Robo 1 and 2 (lawn mower and vacuum cleaner)... I could live without them... but I don’t have to...
Yep... that’s exactly how I feel about my new partner, the robot vacuum. Divorce is out of the question!

In the end, that's what matters when it comes to living, and as long as I feel comfortable with my own approach, I don't really care what others choose for themselves.

That’s exactly the point. If you are satisfied, everything is fine—you should feel comfortable in your own space. But if you’re not… mold, poor air quality, discomfort, too humid, too dry, too warm, too cold… then I would say that 80% of those affected first look for the cause in someone else.
