Testing of air leakage and heat loss characteristics of commercial door assemblies.

Author(s) : MCGOWAN A., JUTRAS R.

Summary

This paper describes testing associated with a recent research project to develop improved design data for the ASHRAE Handbook-Fundamentals. The project presents U-factor and air-leakage test data for seven different types of nonresidential door products for comparison to simulation. These data are based in part on test results of seven test specimens, representing these product categories: noninsulated sectional (multi-panel) garage door, insulated sectional garage door, three-wing revolving door, four-wing revolving door, metal coiling roll-up door, emergency exit door (or "fire door"), and aircraft hangar door.
