Description

The radon emission rate describes the radon characteristics of a building which are defined by structural (tightness of the parts of the building with ground contact) and geological (concentration of radon emitting from the ground) conditions. Therefore, all sources of radon emission into a building are considered. For the determination of the radon emission rate the radon concentration and air exchange rate are needed. Therefore the air exchange rate is calculated by the concentration-decay method according to the VDI guideline 4300-7 or DIN EN ISO 12569. Additionally meteorological parameters like temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, precipitation rate, wind speed and wind direction are recorded and their possible impact on the radon emission rate is analysed.
