Summary

NOTES THE HITHERTO UNKNOWN NATURE OF AIR INFILTRATION IN NORWEGIAN BUILDINGS. DESCRIBES THE RESULTS OF MEASUREMENTS ON 9 DIFFERENT BUILDINGS IN NORWAY. THE MEASURED PARAMETERS WERE: INFILTRATION, WIND VELOCITY AND DIRECTION, PRESSURE DIFFERENCES ACROSS THE BUILDING ENVELOPE, AIR HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURES ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING. THE INFILTRATION WAS MEASURED CONTINUOUSLY WITH TRACER GAS. TIGHTNESS MEASUREMENTS AND THERMOGRAPHY WERE CARRIED OUT TO ESTABLISH THE DIMENSIONS AND LOCATIONS OF THE MAJOR LEAKS. FINDS A HIGHER INFILTRATION RATE THAN EXPECTED.
