  title = {Air Leakage Flow Correlations for Varying House Construction},
  abstract = {<p>Fan pressurization techniques are being employed by an increasingly large number of contractors<br />and auditors to determine the leakage characteristics of structures. In this study, a large<br />data base of flow exponents and flow coefficients are compiled to determine the degree of<br />correlation that exists between flow parameters. The resulting empirical relationships are<br />then used to determine the feasibility of predicting these flow parameters directly from a<br />single pressure difference test. On the basis of these correlations, a new pressure<br />independent tigh~ness parameter is proposed.</p>},
