Weatherstripping Windows and Doors

Various units are used to describe the rate of ventilation. These include:

Volumetric flow rate: Ventilation and air infiltration is commonly expressed in terms of a volumetric air flow rate e.g. litres/s (l/s) or m³/s.

Pressurisation - Infiltration Correlation: Measurements

The Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre's first glossary of ventilation terms was published in 1981 as AIVC Technical Note 5 and contained definitions of over 700 words relating to air infiltration and ventilation. Since then, many definitions have been updated and new terms have been added.

TN 67: Building airtightness: a critical review of testing, reporting and quality schemes in 10 countries

Submitted by on Tue, 09/17/2013 - 09:57

This report gives a critical review of steps taken in 10 countries (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, UK, USA) with regard to testing and reporting schemes as well as overall quality approaches to improve building airtightness. The analyses are mostly based on contributions and discussions with 20 speakers invited to the AIVC-TightVent airtightness international workshop held in Brussels, 28-29 March 2012; they also include information from earlier publications as well as from the authors’ experience.

TN 66: Building air leakage databases in energy conservation policies: analysis of selected initiatives in 4 European countries and the USA

Submitted by on Tue, 09/17/2013 - 09:56

We collected information on existing envelope air leakage databases from countries that are involved in the AIVC-TightVent project “Development and applications of building air leakage databases”. This document summarizes the information from five countries: Czech Republic, France, Germany, UK, and USA. Even though our summary is not exhaustive of all existing data on whole-building envelope air leakage, it provides an overview of recent efforts from a number of countries. There are many reasons why different countries are collecting these data.
