Purpose of the work
The overall buildings leakage results from the sum of the individual contribution of its components. Quantifying this contribution would be of major importance for building designers that intend to improve building enclosures for airtightness optimization. Typically, building components airtightness is tested in laboratory but several examples of a different in-situ performance are reported in the literature. Therefore, this work aims at assessing the air permeability of several building components using in-situ blower door tests.
