Additional work on the Security State BLAST input file has resulted in better agreement between measured and estimated conditions. Although agreement is not complete, additional sources of error have been identified and some original problems corrected. A third visit has been made to the Security State Bank and data on the modified building operation obtained. The planned continuous infiltration test using equipment supplied by Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories was cancelled. It was found that the complexity of the test was beyond the scope of this project. The data acquisition system installed by ESG in the Security State Bank has been turned over to representatives of Architectural Energy Corporation (AEC) for long term data retrieval. Further monitoring of this site by ESG is not expected. A data acquisition system has been installed in the Salt Lake City Johnson Controls building. The necessary one time measurements were made on the building. Hourly data from the building is to be provided to ESG by AEC over telecommunication lines. No data has been made available yet from this site. The final data from the building modifications is not expected before the end of January, 1984.
