Infiltration heat losses due to heating appliances located within the living space are normally evaluated by reducing the conversion efficiency of the boiler, with no consideration for the fluid dynamic interaction between boiler, chimney and building. Purpose of this work is to develop a simplified mathematical model of the overall (building + boiler + chimney) system, suitable to calculate the pressure distribution and air flow rate in the building induced by the simultaneous effect of natural forces and the exhaust system.
