• July 2009: Asociace Blower Door CZ founded (A.BD.CZ)
“a voluntary, non-political, professional association of persons performing the measurements of building airtightness by means of the fan pressurization method or derived methods and promoting a complex quality of buildings, particularly the reduction of energy consumption due to the limitation of their air permeability”

![Page 9: A.BD.CZ Association of Czech airtightness test providers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568144a5550346895db16c5b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
EU network - motivation / expectations
Jiří Novák | April 2011
• motivation
− need of information exchange (learning from good examples, successful approaches...)
− contribute, support this information exchange
![Page 10: A.BD.CZ Association of Czech airtightness test providers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568144a5550346895db16c5b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
EU network - motivation / expectations
Jiří Novák | April 2011
• motivation
− need of information exchange (learning from good examples, successful approaches...)
− contribute, support this information exchange
• expectations (role of the EU network)
− gathering the information about the approaches adopted in different countries to deal with selected issues („summary tables“)
− gathering detailed information concerning main issues (conference / workshop papers, leakage data...)
− facilitate a homogenous testing practice - common approaches or guidelines (e.g. structure of test protocol, of a lekage database training...,)
