Reduction of fresh air ventilation is becoming the major means of energy conservation in office buildings.
Energy performance standards regarding air infiltration of buildings in Switzerland. | 1984 | English
The Swiss performance standard for energy conservation in buildings SIA 380/1 is explained. This standard leaves air infiltration and other detail decisions to planners if minimum performance levels are met.
Since 1970 measurements of air change rate have been carried out in about one thousand buildings by the Swedish Institute for Building Research (SIB). In this paper we present results from these measurements.
Describes a calibration technique to relate the air flow rate through a blower door to the fan speed and pressure difference across the door.
