Air Infiltration and Building Tightness Measurements in Passive Solar Residences
The airtightness of about fifty passive solar homes located throughout the United States was studied using low cost measurement techniques. These homes are part of the Solar Energy Research Institute Class B program to evaluate the thermal performance of passive solar residential buildings. As part of this evaluation, the homes were subjected to pressurization tests to measure airtightness and tracer gas measurements to determine air infiltration rates. In pressurization testing, a fan induces a large inside-outside pressure difference and one measures the flow required to sustain this pressure difference. To measure the air infiltration rate, one releases a quantity of tracer gas concentration over time. The tracer gas measurements used air bags to collect the interior air samples, and these bags were shipped to the National Bureau of Standards for analysis. Each home was subjected to one pressurization test and/or a small number (1 or 2) of tracer gas tests.
