This paper introduces a comparison study of measuring the airtightness of a house-sized test chamber using the novel pulse technique and a low range blower door method in a sheltered environment. Eight different testing plates were prepared and appli...

Experimental studies of a pulse pressurisation technique for measuring building airtightness (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zheng, X., Cooper, E., Zu, Y., Gillott, M., Tetlow, D., Riffat, S., & Wood, C. (2018, August). Experimental studies of a pulse pressurisation technique for measuring building airtightness. Presented at 17th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technology (SET 2018), Wuhan, China

A pulse pressurisation technique is developed and utilised for determining building leakage at low pressure, based on a 'quasi-steady pulse' concept. The underlying principle of the technique is to subject the building envelope to a known volume chan...
