Dear colleagues,
I saw that studies usually assume a pressure difference of 1 Pa between inside and outside the building as a reference value in "real condition" (when air infiltration is driven by wind pressure and stack effect). But I also found somtimes people using 4 Pa (e.g. in French regulations) as a reference for pressure difference.
Does anyone know a book or a paper that provides the reference value for pressure difference and explains how this value is obtained ?
Thank you in advance
Martin
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your answer and sorry for the late reply.
I do not need the value for one specific study. In fact, I asked myself the exact meaning and possible interpretation of the leakage coefficient obtained in a fan pressurization test (which is, in fact, the airflow at a pressure difference of 1 Pa according to the power law).
Calculating pressure difference depends on a lot of factors. I suggest you use the ASHRAE model - but you can also look at the comparison between the different ways to model and calculate the pressure difference: Article Comparing methods of modeling air infiltration through build...
