| Summary |
The scope of this research is to investigate an approach for developing a viable simplified algorithm that can be used by contractors to assess energy efficiency program qualifications and/or compliance based upon solo test results. This report describes the work that has been done thus far and is intended for the building science research community that is familiar with blower door test protocols. The algorithm would not replace the more rigorous, and more accurate, guarded blower door method that is appropriate for building science research. Also, this research effort does not intend to suggest appropriate targets for maximum air leakage values. |
