A computer program for the prediction of the air infiltration load in small residential buildings is described. The model represents an oil-fired furnace, a smoke pipe with barometric damper, a chimney and a non- partitioned building with leakage openings in the building envelope. This envelope includes ceiling, walls, windows and doors, the leakage opening of each being represented by several holes. The model can be used to predict airflow through wall, window and door leakage openings as well as the chimney, with furnace on or off. The effects of windspeed, wind direction and indoor/outdoor temperature differences are incorporated in the model. The computer program predicts the position of the neutral pressure level of each wall, together...
