Infiltration is a difficult parameter to quantify, but also a parameter with a significant impact on heating and cooling load calculations. This seminar addresses fundamental code requirements regarding infiltration, the multitude of factor that play a part in infiltration uncertainty and the impact of infiltration uncertainty on load calculation.
