| Abstract | The air tightness of a building enclosure can be assessed by exhausting air from the structure and measuring the air flow rate and corresponding pressure difference across the enclosure. An exhaust fan apparatus was developed by researchers at the Prairie Regional Station of the Division of Building Research in Saskatoon for air leakage testing of small buildings. It was designed to be easily portable and simple to operate, allowing a two-man crew to pressure test a house in about 45 minutes. |
