Discusses the effect of wind on air change rates in buildings. Reports series of model tests conducted in a water flume and a wind tunnel. A plexiglass box with holes in it was filled with gas, either nitrogen or carbon dioxide, and placed in a controlled air flow. The concentration of gas was plotted in a semi-logarithmic form. Gives typical examples of these graphs.Discusses feasibilty of estimating rate of air change by a hyperbolic function, but finds that more tests are needed forpractical recommendations.
