Tests a method which determines the infiltration of air and radon from the soil to a building. Makes measurements of total air flow along with usual airtightness tests. Describes practical tests in a detached house with a raft foundation on a gravel esker, and determines the permeability curves for thewhole house and the raft alone, and also the permeability of the soil to air. Describes the way the results are used for determination of air infiltration in different climatic conditions, and tests different radon reducing methodsusing the previously developed system analysis. Suggests a simple and economic measure for reducing radon.
