  title = {The Prediction of Air Infiltration},
  abstract = {<p>Air infiltration is responsible for about one-third of the space conditioning loads in<br />residential buildings; it is also the principal method for maintaining adequate indoor air<br />quality (by diluting internally generated pollutants). Recent recognition of this dichotomy<br />has increased the desire for a simple and reasonably accurate method for estimating<br />air infiltration. This paper describes such a method in a practical manner so that<br />engineers or auditors who are not specially trained in infiltration research can estimate air<br />infiltration. The predIction of air infiltration with this method requires two steps: field<br />measurement of the building properties, and calculation of the infiltration from weather<br />data and the measured properties. In this paper we will describe fan pressurization techniques<br />(e.g. blower door) and how to use them to measure the air tightness of the building<br />envelope, and we will describe the procedures required to make infiltration predictions<br />with the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) infiltration model.</p>},
