International ift recommendation for use for the installation of windows and doors
ift Rosenheim 12/2016 Page 6 of XXX
Based on climate change and rising costs of energy, there are statutory specifications in almost all countries in the world for conserving energy that have to be taken into account and maintained by manufacturers and assemblers. In the German Energy Saving Regulation (EnEV), Article 26, paragraph 2 states as follows: "As far as complying with the regulations of this Ordinance is concerned, depending on their respective sphere of activity" (apart from the building owners) "the onus lies even with those persons who are involved on behalf of the building owners in the construction or modification of buildings or the equipment and facilities in buildings." With respect to energy conservation during the installation of windows and exterior doors is concerned, Chapter 8 of this manual provides a complete range of installation examples for new constructions as well as replacement of windows in existing buildings, including the thermal verifications. These are essentially non-binding and non-obligatory examples of design and execution; in other words, it is possible to have even another detailed configuration, e.g. with respect to the fixture or sealing. The requirements for mounting building components viz. windows and exterior doors are not material-specific but function-oriented.

2.2 Effects on windows and exterior doors in the external wall In order to be able to determine the requirements, it is necessary to know about the potential effects on the window as an external building component to begin with. These effects are illustrated schematically in Figure 2.2 and they are listed in Table 2.1 with the various stresses and relevant regulations.

ETA regulation "Components that offer protection from falling from a
height" The architect or designer has the job of implementing the requirements based on the property-specific characteristics in sufficiently detailed design specifications (spectrum of work, regulation details), so that an unambiguous requirements profile is obtained both for the window/exterior door construction and for mounting of building components.
Useful aids for planning and design are available at www.ift-service.de. The following Table 2.2 gives an overview of the stresses or the tendential impact, respectively, on the required scope and effort of installing windows from the building location, utilisation, window construction and planned wall connection.

All requirements mentioned so far and movements from the frame construction and from the construction work must be incorporated and accommodated in the installation gap/seals. The integration of windows and exterior doors in the building shell must be planned in order to avoid damage to the connection area. This is why professional design of the installation gap, i.e. construction, joint geometry, fixing, insulation and sealing, assumes great significance. The fitness for use of the building elements assumes a proper wall connection meeting the complete requirements profile apart from a construction meeting
