LoginPresents infiltration model whose input is: 1) air leakage under fan pressurisation and 2) natural indoor/outdoor pressure differences. Output is the house's natural infiltration rate. Describes tests of model on 6 houses in usa, 3 conventional houses in a mildclimate region and 3 energy-efficient houses in a cold winterregion. Obtains good agreement between infiltration rates measured using tracer gas and rates calculated from the model.
