A Simplified Methodology to Estimate Energy Savings in Commercial Buildings from Improvements in Airtightness
Air leakage through the envelope of commercial buildings in the United States accounts for approximately 6% of their energy use. Various simulation approaches have been proposed to estimate the impact of air leakage on building energy use. Although approaches that are based on detailed airflow model...
