Abstract

This project addressed airflows in houses, their combined impact on energy use and indoor air quality, and the comparative effects of typical insulation and air sealing practices versus integrated system-level retrofits. Additionally, practical considerations for contractors taking either approach were addressed. Finally, the effects of supply ventilation and exhaust ventilation on indoor air quality were compared in occupied homes.
