The Austrian capital has been expanding since the late 1980s, with the growth rate rising substantially once the country gained EU membership in 1995. Now, it's innovating again as it looks to solve its growing population problem - while cementing its status as one of the world’s most liveable cities.Ĭombining the power of technology, sustainable design and modern methods of construction, this is how Vienna is building one of the continent’s largest - and most ambitious - urban development projects.Ībove: Vienna is one of the fastest-growing major cities in the European Union (EU). RENOWNED for its unique blend of architecture and stunning cultural landmarks, Vienna is among Europe’s top travel destinations.īut while it is perhaps best known for its well-preserved heritage buildings, the capital of Austria has been pioneering new approaches to urban living for years.

For this reason, in addition to moisture protection according to DIN 4108-3 (in German), a drying reserve in accordance with DIN 68800-2 (in German) is required, which should also allow harmless drying of unintentionally penetrated moisture.Video powered by ALLPLAN and hosted by Fred Mills.

Moisture protection in wood structures is particularly important. If the water vapor accumulates on a cold layer, condensation is likely to occur. Because the outer, colder layers can only contain very little water vapor, it must be ensured that the water vapor escapes as easily as possible from the outside. This is why water vapor diffuses through the component from the inside to the outside.

In winter the warm room air contains more moisture than the cold outside air.

At this point, the following simplification is sufficient: The article Wasserdampfdiffusion und feuchte Wände (in German) explains how moisture and mold can occur. Therefore, the U-value calculator examines your insulation for potential moisture problems. Moist and moldy walls are the nightmare of many builders. More detailed information can be found on the left-hand side of the screen using the buttons U-value, humidity, heat, etc.įor commercial usage, calculations are made according to DIN EN ISO 6946 (U value), DIN 4108-3 (moisture protection) and DIN 68800-2 (drying reserve). The main results are displayed at the bottom of the screen. To insert wooden beams into an insulation layer.
