Natural and forced ventilation are directly and indirectly influenced by the pressure distribution around a building. The paper presents the results of full-scale pressure measurements on a typical Swedish timber house. The rate of air infiltration has been calculated by employing the values obtained from full-scale pressure distribution, air leakage characteristics and tempera-ture differences. The results are compared with the actual ventilation obtained from tracer gas measure-ments.
