Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the air tightness of Zero Energy Solar House(ZeSH) and to propose the construction improvement of junctions and penetrations where air infiltration was identified. Air leakage rate were measured by means of blower door test in accordance with ASTM E779-87. The results showed that ZeSH has an excellent airtightness with ACH50/20 (air change per hour at a pressure difference of 50 Pa between inside outside) of 0.34hr-1 and leakage class E by normalized leakage area of ASHRAE.
