Briefly describes method for pressure testing a house. Discusses problems and limitations of method. Discusses results of 130 (de)pressurization tests…
An automated air infiltration measurement system for large buildings isdescribed. The system consists of a micro-computer, electron capture gaschromatograph…
Proposes a method of linking pressurization measurements in buildings with infiltration rates. The method is based on a simple theoretical model. Gives…
Describes the development of an anemometer for the measurement of rapidly fluctuating air flows. Describes the B.R.E. shielded hot wire anemometer.…
Describes a dynamic pressure anemometer which belongs to the group of pressure-tube anemometers (pitot-static tubes) and is intended for measurement of one…
Reviews the source and nature of pollutants occurring in indoor air. Discusses two research projects at the Institute of Hygiene and Work Physiology of the…
Presents a technique using fan pressurization results and weather data to calculate infiltration. The geometry, leakage distribution, and terrain and…
There is a need for correlating results of pressurization tests with infiltration tests, making it possible to predict the infiltration rate of a building…
Describes a method for determining the leakage of an entire building. Each room is pressurized in turn and the leakages of individual rooms are summed to…
Presents a survey of tracer gas techniques for measuring air infiltration and includes a theoretical derivation of the equations, a description of each…
Describes an automatic measurement system for air infiltration and discusses factors influencing the measurements in single rooms or in a group of connected…
