A field test protocol to assess the heating season energy impact of operating corridor ventilation systems was developed and successfully applied to five multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) in Winnipeg. The protocol was straightforward and inexpensive to apply. The data analyses, done in a spreadsheet computer program, revealed a similar relationship between energy use and operation of the corridor ventilation system for all five MURBs.
