Résumé

A data set of 139 commercial buildings was assembled from the published literature, and their air leakage values as determined by fan pressurization testing were examined. The commercial buildings were not seen to be significantly tighter than US houses, which are fairly leaky compared with residential buildings in other countries. Other factors besides age were examined with respect to their impact on airtightness. This database of envelope airtightness of commercial and institutional buildings is limited in number and randomness, making generalizations regarding correlations of airtightness with age or any other particular building feature difficult.
