FOR CONTRACTORS - 2016 - Computing Infiltration Loads based on a Target Envelope Leakage Requirement 

07-14-2022 02:41 PM

This Technical Note shows how to convert a maximum code allowable leakage limit (say, 3 or 5 ACH 50 per the ICC International Energy Conservation Code) to a Manual J infiltration CFM value, and then to the infiltration load contributions (Btuh) for sensible heating, sensible cooling, and latent cooling. It also discusses the use of blower door data for one or more test points.
