Air tightness of new houses in the US.

Résumé

The work reported here is an update of similar efforts carried out a decade ago, which used extant data largely focused on the housing stock rather than on new construction. The current effort emphasizes shell tightness measurements made on houses soon after they are built. These newer data come from over two dozen datasets, including over 22 000 measurements spread over a majority of the US Roughly one third of the measurements are for houses identified as energy-efficient through participation in a government or utility program. As a result, the characteristics reported here provide a quantitative estimate of the impact that energy efficiency programs have on envelope tightness in the US as well as on trends in construction.
