Describes a general model for air infiltration which will accomodate wind pressures, stack effect and ventilation openings provided the vents are either all above or all below their respective neutral pressure levels. States that main innovation of this model is expressing the infiltration as a function of the shell leakage and of the neutral heights of each face.Describes experimental method for finding the neutral pressure level. Gives typical values of parameters for tight mid-westhouses for light and strong wind.
