Abstract

The paper reports the first air permeability measurements carried out on Australian houses. Permeability was measured by the fan pressurization method. Comparison is made with results obtained in other countries. Variation between types of houses is discussed on the basis of measured leakage of components in an experimental building. Methods of predicting the permeability of houses are considered and an empirical approach is adopted. The cost effectiveness of house-tightening measures is discussed.
