The multi-point blower door test procedure results in a series of known values of Q n, Fan and ∆P n, Building. Typical ∆P n, Building values are ±5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 pascal. Ordinary least squares regression analysis is then used to calculate the leakage characteristics of the building envelope: C Building and n Building .
