Summary

Energy savings by reducing fresh air may be less than those indicated by direct calculation. The static pressure within the building must not be allowed to fall, or untreated outside air will enter by infiltration. Practical and simulated tests, including measurement of carbon dioxide concentrations, show that a large error is possible in the quantity of fresh air actually entering the building. Worked examples show that the full fresh air rate can be maintained, for most of the year, with little or no energy increase. A.R.T.
