Studies effect of joints between building components on air tightness of buildings, and the factors which influence the air leakage through a joint. As a pilot test, the air leakage for different widths of joints between building components in timber has been studied by varying the pressure between 150 to +/- 700 pa. Describes main apparatus and gives results of the investigation on the leakage of air pressure in various types of joints.
