  2. Blower door - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blower_door

    Blower door installation (France) Depending on how a blower door test is performed, a wide variety of airtightness and building airflow metrics can be derived from the gathered data. Some of the most common metrics and their variations are discussed below. The examples below use the SI pressure measurement unit Pascal (pa). Imperial measurement ...

  3. Air door - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_door

    A typical commercial air curtain enclosure. In North America, the more commonly-used term for an air door is "air curtain". The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) defines an air door as follows: "In its simplest application, an air curtain is a continuous broad stream of air circulated across a doorway of a conditioned space.

  4. Duct leakage testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_leakage_testing

    A third test method to determine if ductwork is leaking to the outside is to use a pressure pan, which is a register cover with a pressure tap for a hose connection. With the house pressurized (or depressurized) to 50 Pa (-50 Pa) using a blower door, a pressure gauge is attached to the pressure pan by means of a hose.

    The physical components of the envelope include the foundation, roof, walls, doors, windows, ceiling, and their related barriers and insulation. The dimensions, performance and compatibility of materials, fabrication process and details, connections and interactions are the main factors that determine the effectiveness and durability of the ...

    [25] [26] On a blower door test, a standardized measure of how rapidly air leaks out of a house at a pressure of 50 pascals (pa), most new Canadian houses of the time scored around 9 "air changes per hour" or ach @ 50 pa. The Saskatchewan Conservation House achieved measures of 0.5 [27] ach@50pa. [2]

  7. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

    Usually, a register is placed near a window or door, which is where the greatest heat/cooling loss occurs. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] In contrast, returns (grilled ducts which suck air back into the HVAC system for heating or cooling) are usually placed in the wall or ceiling nearest the center of the building.

    They conclude 15% of the space conditioning energy use can be saved in the UK context going from 11.5 m 3 /(m 2 ·h) @50 Pa (average current value) down to 5 m 3 /(m 2 ·h) @50 Pa (achievable). Given its impacts on heat losses, good building airtightness may allow installation of smaller heating and cooling capacities.
