Description
Aminimum standard that sets the airtightness for building enve lopes does not exist but is quite necessary. This article outlines the need for setting this minimum standard and provides a summary of the myriad of recommendations, standards, and state-of-the-art projects. It presents an overview based on a compilation and examination of the results of studies, standards, codes, tested buildings, and recommendations for whole-building airtightness in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe as tested by building pressurization test methods. The data was collected through a survey conducted from mid-2003 through the beginning of 2004.
