Building Technologies and Science Center

Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

Staff at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Center for Buildings and Thermal Systems and associated contractors perform experiments to quantify the air-exchange characteristics of homes built within the Building America program. This report documents the test practices used. The document was prepared to increase understanding of the advantages and limitations of the approach described.This document is not intended to be a standard protocol for these test measurements.
