  2. Radon mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon_mitigation

    Ventilation systems can utilize a heat exchanger or energy recovery ventilator to recover part of the energy otherwise lost in the process of exchanging air with the outside. For crawlspaces, the EPA states, [22] "An effective method to reduce radon levels in crawlspace homes involves covering the earth floor with a high-density plastic sheet ...

  3. Duct leakage testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_leakage_testing

    A basic duct leakage testing system includes three components: a calibrated fan, a register sealing system, and a device to measure fan flow and building pressure. Supply registers or return air grills are sealed using adhesive tapes, cardboard, or non-adhesive reusable seals.

  4. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

    A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.

  5. Crawl space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawl_space

    A crawl space or crawlspace is an unoccupied, unfinished, narrow space within a building, between the ground and the first (or ground) floor. The crawl space is so named because there is typically only enough room to crawl rather than stand; anything larger than about 1 to 1.5 metres (3 ft 3 in to 4 ft 11 in) and beneath the ground floor would ...

  6. Building airtightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_airtightness

    Building airtightness levels can be measured by using a fan, temporarily installed in the building envelope (a blower door) to pressurize the building. Air flow through the fan creates an internal, uniform, static pressure within the building.

  7. Health effects of radon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_radon

    Homes built on a crawl space may benefit from a radon collector installed under a "radon barrier, or membrane" (a sheet of plastic or laminated polyethylene film that covers the crawl space floor). ASTM E-2121 is a standard for reducing radon in homes as far as practicable below 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) in indoor air. [111] [112]
