LoginThe paper explores whether replacing old windows, in a significant proportion of UK dwellings, could reduce air change rates below recommended levels unless additional controllable ventilation is installed at the same time as new windows.For that study, the authors have identified a sample of dwellings that were to have complete window replacement, then carried out fan pressurisation measurements before and after replacement in order to assess the impact on the UK building stock as a whole.
