Experimental Protocol and Preliminary Results of Air Infiltration Rate Measurements in Tennessee Valley Homes
The principal objective of this multipollutant indoor air quality study focuses on measurement of radon and radon progeny. Details of the radon monitoring component and the chemical pollutant monitoring aspects of the study and associated experimental methods have been recently described. Seventy houses throughout the Tennessee Valley area are included in the study. Six houses are in Oak Ridge, Tennessee; nine houses are in Chattanooga, Tennessee; five houses are in Rossville, Georgia (near Chattanooga); four houses are near Tupelo, Mississippi; eight houses are near Florence, Alabama; eight houses are in Huntsville, Alabama; and thirty houses are in the Birmingham, Alabama, area. Ten of the thirty houses in Birmingham are ''energy efficient'' houses as defined by the local utility conservation program. With the exception of some of the energy efficient houses in Birmingham, all other houses have a basement level and a living space above this level. Some houses have this lower level as a conditioned living space; others do not. Only houses with basement levels were included in the main component of the study due to design objectives related to radon monitoring. Ten ''energy efficient'' houses were added to the originally selected 60 houses to allow comparison between these homes and more typical houses in the study. (ERA citation 11:032709)
