OSTI ID:5793589
Air leakage is the single most important quantity in the determination of air infiltration in residential structures. Air leakage is most commonly measured using the fan pressurization technique (See ASTM standard E779); the data gathered with this method is often used to determine a leakage constant and a flow exponent. In this report, data gathered from the literature will be compiled into a list of leakage constants and flow exponents, and the variability of these values over climate and housing types will be examined. 6 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs.
