✦ Synopsis

This report analyses and correlates the data obtained for air infiltration during performance tests for weathertightness of windows. The correlations are compared with data from existing standards for natural ventilation, the comparison highlighting the considerable variation between weathertightness and natural ventilation performance. Recommendations for resolving the differences in performance are proposed which will assist the designer in achieving a better balance between energy conservation needs and ventilation requirements.
