English term or phrase: crawl space
Definition from ulcan Basement Waterproofing Company:
A shallow unfinished space beneath the first floor or under the roof usually for access to plumbing, heating ducts and wiring.

Example sentence(s):
  • Vapor barrier ground covers appreciably inhibit evaporation from crawl space floors, thereby lowering crawl space humidity levels. Forest Products Laboratory
  • The air from the crawl space is pulled into the living area by this natural vacuum then it either exits out the open windows or it continues toward the roof as the warm air rises. As this air escapes through the roof, it pulls more air from the crawl space and the cycle continues. CrawlSpace Concepts LLC
  • Poor indoor air from the basement and crawl space eventually makes its way throughout the entire home. EMECOLE, INC.

kryputrymme


Definition from Terminologicentrum:
Ventilerat utrymme med låg höjd under bottenbjälklaget, åtkomligt för inspektion och underhåll

Example sentence(s):
  • Uteluftsventilerad krypgrund En krypgrund byggs statiskt sett upp på samma sätt som plintgrunder. Grunden är helt inbyggd men är ventilerad via öppningar. Utrymmet ska kunna inspekteras. Det fria avståndet mellan markytan och bjälklaget ska vara minst 500 mm. Vid uppskjutande berg får det fria avståndet lokalt minskas till 150 mm. För acceptabel krypbarhet bör avståndet vara 600 mm till 700 mm. Om utrymmet under bottenbjälklaget samtidigt fungerar som kulvert ska den fria höjden vara minst 2100 mm. - Träguiden
