This research aims at quantifying the leakage occurring in Under Floor Air Distribution (UFAD) systems and Over Head Air Distribution (OHAD) systems. The study also classifies the leakage occurring in the different systems into Category 1 leakage and Category 2 leakage. The study was performed between a plenum supply UFAD system (having a maximum flow rate of 1272 m3/h), a ducted supply UFAD system (having a maximum flow rate of 286 m3/h) and an OHAD system (having a maximum flow rate of 2004 m3/h).
