Ventilation control in medium air tightness houses / prepared for: Research Division, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation; prepared by: Building Science Division, Saskatchewan Research Council.: NH17-346/1995E-PDF

"This housing research project had three major objectives. The first objective was to determine information on air pollutant source strengths in 20 houses of medium (between 2 and 7 air changes per hour at 50 pascals) air tightness; a second objective was to determine the appropriateness of the proposed changes to the 1995 Building Code related to ventilation and house depressurization; a third objective was to field test in four houses an exhaust-only ventilation system that is controlled based on the outdoor air temperature, and to perform computer modelling on this ventilation scheme"--Executive summary.
