“…These results could be used to prove the possibility to use methods to characterize the thermal transmittance, which are commonly used in buildings, in the superstructures of accommodation spaces in ships. In addition, these results make it possible to apply other test methods highly used in buildings, such as the airtightness testing of windows by using the blower door [61].…”

The application of passive design strategies in ships, such as the use of superstructures with high thermal insulation, allows the energy demand of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to be reduced. There is a knowledge gap in the scientific literature on the possibilities to thermally characterize superstructures. Knowing such possibilities would make a methodology available for the quality control of naval constructions and for the inspection of the appropriate state of insulations in existing ships. For this purpose, a total of three different typologies of ship superstructures were monitored, and the data obtained were analyzed by using various existing approaches for the thermal characterization of façades: the heat flow meter method and temperature measurement methods. The results showed that the heat flow meter method constitutes a valid methodology to obtain representative results. In addition, guaranteeing a thermal gradient dependent of the wall typology and placing probes in zones not influenced by thermal bridges ensure that representative results are achieved.

The chapter describes a new methodology for the evaluation of the in situ water tightness in window openings located in the building envelope, as well as the development process carried out for its real application. It is an innovative non-destructive testing procedure that reproduces the effects of rain combined with wind, which is applicable both during the building construction process and in buildings in use. It is a useful tool for tightness analysis in quality control of elements and constructive pathologies that offers verifiable results in the field of habitability evaluation in buildings.

“…In the last few years, there has been, in this field, an important development in the methods used for the testing of windows and other elements of the building envelope, largely due to the needs of energy evaluations for buildings [22]. In this way, permeability measurement techniques such as the test blower door [23,24], thermometric tests for the measurement of the transmittance [25], infrared thermography [26] and tests of watertightness against the effects of wind-driven rain [27], among others, are increasingly present (both in the scientific literature and in their spread in the industry).…”

The sustainability of building envelopes is affected by its windows, since these establish the connection/separation between the indoor rooms and the external environment. They can also lead to problems if they do not offer sufficient protection against external agents. The data source in this research is unprecedented, as it is based on records of court sentences. There is a significant number of cases (1615), which provides high representativeness for the functional reality of windows. The methodology that was developed classifies the defects and the causes that were found, also analysing correspondence with their recurrence according to aspects of climatological location. In the results, the cases pertaining to water infiltration, air permeability and humidity by condensation are highlighted. This study provides a vision that categorizes problems related to aluminium windows that may be useful for future interventions by agents participating in the construction process.
