Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the fibers of the textile layer 11 have a hydrophilic coating.
[0129] FIG. 9 shows schematically that a plurality of moisture sensors 6 are provided along the length of the construction foil 1. In further embodiments, the moisture sensors 6 can be equally spaced apart.

Ultimately, the support layer 2 shown in FIG. 15 is disposed at least substantially centrally on the textile layer 11.
[0134] In addition, FIG. 15 shows that the outer edges 17 of the carrier layer 2 are at least substantially parallel to the outer edges 16 of the textile layer 11. Furthermore, FIG. 15 shows that the longitudinal axis 18, which runs in the direction of the greatest extension of the carrier layer 2, runs parallel to the longitudinal axis 19 of the textile layer 11, in particular wherein the axes 18 and 19 can lie one above the other in further embodiments.
[0135] FIG. 16 shows that the layer structure 3 has a further layer 20 for forming the construction foil 1 as a roofing membrane. In further embodiments, it may be provided that the further layer 20 forms the layer structure 3 as a roofing sheet, facade roofing sheet, facade sheet and/or vapor barrier and/or sub-roofing sheet, in particular underlayment and/or sarking sheet.
[0136] The further layer 20 can be designed as a functional layer, which in particular is designed to be vapor-barrier and/or diffusion-tight. In particular, the roofing membrane as shown in FIG. 16 can be used as a flat roofing membrane.
[0137] FIG. 8 shows that the further layer 20 is arranged on the outer side 26 of the carrier layer 2. The outer side 26 may face away from the electronic unit 4. It is not shown that the further layer 20 is designed to be diffusion-tight, diffusion-inhibiting, impermeable to water vapor and/or waterproof.
[0138] The width 14 of the carrier layer 2 can be between 1 to 100 cm. Furthermore, the width 15 of the textile layer can be between 0.5 to 3 m. However, the widths 14, 15 can vary, especially relative to each other.
[0139] FIG. 7 shows that the layer structure 3 has two layers and consists of the carrier layer 2 and the textile layer 11. The electronics unit 4 is printed on the carrier layer 2 and is ultimately regarded as a component of the carrier layer 2.
[0140] FIG. 17 shows the use of a construction foil 1 according to the previously described embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 16 as a breakthrough element 33. The breakthrough element 33 is used in particular in roof construction, preferably in flat roof construction. The construction foil 1 formed as a breakthrough element 33 has at least one breakthrough 32 of the construction foil 1. The breakthrough 32 serves to arrange and receive a breakthrough body 34. The breakthrough body 34 is not a component of the breakthrough element 33. Accordingly, the breakthrough element 33 can enclose the breakthrough body 34, at least in certain areas, and/or monitor the latter to the effect that any penetration of moisture is detected. In further embodiments, it may also be provided that a further construction foil, further construction foil sections and/or a sealing foil are used to seal the breakthrough body 34, wherein the breakthrough element 33 is used in an area that is to be sealed, whereby the breakthrough element 33 may provide monitoring of moisture penetration. However, in further embodiments, the sealing function, in particular against water, can also be provided by the breakthrough element 33 itself, in particular by the carrier layer 2 and/or at least one further layer 20.
[0141] A drain, for example a flat roof drain, and/or a ventilator, in particular a ventilation pipe, can be provided as a breakthrough body 34. In particular, the breakthrough element 33 functions as a sleeve element for the breakthrough body 34, which can be enclosed or surrounded by the breakthrough element 33 at least in regions, preferably completely. In this context, it can be provided that, at least in certain regions, a distance is produced between the outer side of the breakthrough 32 of the construction foil 1 and the breakthrough body 34, or that the breakthrough 32 of the construction foil 1 is arranged on the outer side 36 of the breakthrough body 34 in such a way that a closure is produced. For example, the construction foil 1 can be led up along the outer side 36 of the breakthrough body 34 so that the construction foil 1 can nestle against the breakthrough body 34 in this area.
[0142] FIG. 17 shows schematically that an area of the construction foil 1 can be formed as a breakthrough 32. This breakthrough 32 can be introduced at the factory or by the user. For example, the user can be shown which “possible” area can “function” as a breakthrough 32. Within this area, the user is then comparatively free to make an incision to form the breakthrough 32, so that the breakthrough 32 can be adapted to the individually provided breakthrough body 34. This allows for an increase in flexibility.
[0143] FIG. 17 shows four moisture sensors 6 arranged adjacent to the area that may form the breakthrough 32 (indicated schematically by hatching in FIG. 17). The moisture sensors 6 may be interconnected via conductive paths 5. In the embodiment example shown in FIG. 17, it is provided that neither the moisture sensors 6 nor the conductor tracks 5 are interrupted and/or pierced by the breakthrough 32. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 17, a one-piece design of the breakthrough element 33 is provided. In further embodiments not shown, the breakthrough element 33 may well be of multi-part design, in particular depending on the outer dimensions of the breakthrough body 34.
[0144] The conductor tracks 5 can electrically connect the humidity sensors 6 to each other.
[0145] In further embodiments, between 3 to 20 moisture sensors 6 can be used at the breakthrough element 33. In particular, the number of moisture sensors 6 used also depends on the outer dimensions of the breakthrough 32.
[0146] FIG. 18 shows that the conductor tracks 5 are arranged around the breakthrough 32.
[0147] In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 19 to 23, different breakthroughs 32 and breakthrough bodies 34 are shown. In FIG. 21, it is shown that the carrier layer 2 has a first breakthrough 35. In FIG. 21, however, the breakthrough body 34 is also visible, so that the breakthrough 35 of the carrier layer 2 can only be recognized in a “concealed” manner. In the embodiment example shown in FIG. 21, the first breakthrough 35 terminates with the breakthrough body 34.
[0148] FIG. 23 shows that the penetration element 33 is arranged below a waterproofing layer 39, in particular a waterproof sub-roofing membrane, and monitors the penetration of moisture below the waterproofing membrane 39.
[0149] Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the breakthrough element 33 is arranged on a vapor barrier and/or below a sealing layer, in particular below a sealing sheet 39.
[0150] The carrier layer 2 of the construction foil 1 can be guided up along the outer side 36 of the breakthrough body 34 at least in some areas, in particular the carrier layer 2 nestles against the outer side 36 of the breakthrough body 34 in this area. In addition, the breakthrough body 34 may be bonded and/or connected to the carrier layer 2 in this region, in particular in a sealing manner.
[0151] FIG. 21 shows that the textile layer 11 has a further breakthrough 37 which is larger than the first breakthrough 35 the carrier layer 2. The further breakthrough 37 may be spaced apart from the outer side 36 of the breakthrough body 34, at least in some regions, and may further alternatively or additionally be arranged on the outer side 36 of the breakthrough body 34, at least in some regions.
[0152] In FIG. 22, it is shown that both the first breakthrough 35 and the second breakthrough 37 are at least substantially flush with each other. In FIG. 22, however, the breakthrough body 34 is not shown in more detail.
[0153] In FIG. 20, it is shown that the carrier layer 2 has a breakthrough 32. The textile layer 11 has incisions, in particular a cross incision. The breakthrough body 34 can be guided through these incisions. The sections of the textile layer that are arranged in the breakthrough 32 can be guided up along the outer side 36 of the breakthrough body 34, as shown schematically in FIG. 20.
[0154] The breakthrough body 34 shown in FIG. 23 can have an outer diameter of at least 20 mm, preferably between 100 mm to 300 mm. Thus, the at least one breakthrough 32 of the construction foil 1 may also have an outer diameter 38 between 100 to 300 mm. Preferably, the outer diameter of the breakthrough 32 is formed to correspond to the outer diameter 38 of the breakthrough body 34, in particular since the breakthrough 32 at least substantially corresponds to the outer shape of the breakthrough body 34, so that an at least substantially flush closure is formed between the breakthrough 32 and the breakthrough body 34.
[0155] Not shown in more detail is that the breakthrough body 34 can also have a maximum length of at least 1 m and/or a maximum width of at least 1 m. In particular, the breakthrough body 34 may also have an at least substantially rectangular outer shape, in particular wherein the length may be between 1 to 2 m and the width may be between 1 to 2 m. Such outer shapes result, for example, in skylight domes used in flat roof applications.
[0156] Particularly for larger breakthrough bodies 34, it is advantageous if the breakthrough element 33 is formed in at least two parts. In particular, at least two separate sections of the construction foil 1 can form the breakthrough element 38. These elements can be electrically connected to one another via the connection system described below. Ultimately, different sections of the construction foil 1 can form the breakthrough element 33. The breakthrough element 33 may be arranged around the breakthrough body 34 at least in certain areas, preferably completely surrounding the breakthrough body 34. Ultimately, the breakthrough element 33 ensures moisture monitoring in the roof structure in the area of the breakthrough body 34.
[0157] In further embodiments, the breakthrough body 34 may have an at least substantially circular outer cross-section in the region of the construction foil 1. In principle, however, different outer shapes are possible for the breakthrough element 33.
[0158] Not shown is a roof structure, which is provided in particular for a flat roof. The roof structure can have a construction foil 1 according to one of the embodiments described above. At least in the installed state of the construction foil 1, the moisture sensor 6 can be arranged on the upper side of the construction foil 1, facing the weather side, or on the lower side, facing away from the weather side.
[0159] Also not shown is that the layer structure 3 has a further textile layer, in particular a further nonwoven layer. The further non-woven layer can be arranged on the side of the construction foil 1 opposite the textile layer 11. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the further textile layer is arranged on the side of the carrier layer 11 facing away from the electronic unit 4 - namely the outer side 26.
[0160] FIG. 1 shows a construction foil 1. The construction foil 1 can be used in particular in the flat roof area and/or within a sub-roofing. Furthermore, FIG. 1 shows that the construction foil 1 has a carrier layer 2, which is integrated in a layer structure 3. The layer structure 3 can be of single-layer or multi-layer design. In the embodiment example shown in FIG. 1, an at least two-layer layer structure 3 is provided.
[0161] FIG. 4 shows a single-layer construction foil 1. The carrier layer 2 has an electronic unit 4.
[0162] In FIG. 9, it is shown that the electronic unit 4 may have a plurality of conductor tracks 5 and/or a sensor 6, in particular a humidity sensor. The sensor 6 may be connected to the conductor tracks 5. In particular, the sensor 6 may also be connected to a plurality of the conductor tracks 5.
[0163] In addition, FIG. 1 shows that the carrier layer 2 has a first connecting means 7 which protrudes over the carrier layer 2 - namely over the outer side 8 of the carrier layer 2. The first connecting means 7 is connected to the electronic unit 4, in particular to the conductor tracks 5 and/or the sensor 6 of the electronic unit 4.
[0164] FIG. 1 shows that the first connecting means 7 is designed in such a way that the electronic unit 4 can be electrically connected to an external connection device 9 via the first connecting means 7. The connection of the first connecting means 7 to the external connection device 9 can be made in a detachable manner, in particular in a detachable manner without tools. Via the electrical connection between the first connecting means 7 and the external connection device 9, an electrical contacting of the external connection device 9 to the electronic unit 4 of the construction foil 1 can take place.
[0165] FIG. 3 schematically shows an external connection device 9 that can be connected to the first connecting means 7 of the construction foil 1 shown in FIG. 1.
[0166] Furthermore, FIGS. 4 to 6 also show a complementary configuration of the first connecting means 7 to the second connecting means 10 of the external connection device 9. Thus, the first connecting means 7 may be complementary to a second connecting means 10 of the external connection device 9, wherein the first connecting means 7 may provide the electrical contact between the second connecting means 10 of the external connection device 9 and the electronic unit 4 of the construction foil 1.
[0167] In the embodiment example shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, it is provided that the first connecting means 7 is designed as a connecting means of a complementary connecting system that can preferably be released non-destructively and/or without tools. In the illustrated embodiment example, a push-button connection is provided as the connecting system. The push-button connection has, in particular, a low installation height. For example, the assembly height of the first connecting means 7, which is connected to the second connecting means 10, may in particular not exceed a height of 1 cm.
[0168] In FIGS. 11 and 12, a further schematic representation of a complementary connection system is shown. In FIG. 11, it is shown that the construction foil 1 has a first connecting means 7, which may be formed as a male or female part of a hook-and-loop connection. The connection device 9 may have a second connecting means 10 of complementary design, as shown schematically in FIG. 12. The second connecting means 10 shown in FIG. 12 can be detachably connected to the first connecting means 7 of the construction foil 1 shown in FIG. 11. Accordingly, an electrical contact to the electronic unit 4 of the construction foil 1 can be ensured via the connecting means 9.
[0169] It is not shown that an adhesive connection can also be provided as a connection system.
[0170] The first connecting means 7 may protrude between 0.5 to 15 mm beyond the outer surface 8 of the carrier layer 2.
[0171] FIG. 9 shows that the carrier layer 2 has an electronic unit 4 with at least one sensor 6. In the embodiment shown, the sensor 6 is designed as a humidity sensor.
[0172] FIG. 1 shows that the electronic unit 4 has at least one conductor track 5, with the first connecting means 7 being electrically conductively connected to at least one conductor track 5. FIG. 1 does not show that alternatively or additionally the first connecting means 7 can also be electrically connected to the sensor 6.
[0173] FIG. 1 further shows that the construction foil 1 can have between 1 and 20 — namely in particular six in the embodiment example shown — first connecting means 7. In FIG. 11, it is shown that a first connecting means 7 is provided on the construction foil 1.
[0174] FIG. 13 shows that the construction foil 1 can comprise both the first connecting means 7 and the second connecting means 10. Thus, the construction foil 1 can comprise the external connection device 9 for another construction foil 25. The connection device 9 comprising the second connecting means 10 may be arranged on the opposite outer side 26 comprising the first connecting means 7, in particular wherein the second connecting means 10 may be electrically connected to the first connecting means 7 and/or the electronic unit 4. In this way, the construction foils 1, 25 can be electrically connected to one another via the first and second connecting means 7, 10, as shown schematically in FIG. 14.
