Development and Field Verification of a Model of Excess Infiltration and House Air Infiltration for Single-Family Residences. Final Report for 1979

摘要

This report discusses a generalized model of air infiltration, partial refinement of the model by the development (and inclusion into the model) of 3 support models (for total crackage, wind shielding and structural permeability), and partial verification of the model by comparison to detailed, measured house infiltration data obtained by other investigators in 2 test homes. The report also presents a review of literature air infiltration models and of their limitations.
