The Value of Air Leakage Testing in Large Commercial Buildings – Study Findings

The energy required to heat and cool outdoor air and infiltration air is a significant fraction of thermal loads. This project has developed diagnostic procedures to identify air leaks and methods to calculate the savings from air sealing large commercial and institutional buildings. Envelope air sealing could significantly reduce large building energy consumption, but no systematic research has identified the most cost-effective strategies for Minnesota buildings. In this webinar, CEE Director of Research Dave Bohac presents research findings and the procedures used for conducting air leakage testing. The findings will speak not only to potential cost-effective energy savings, but also to tools and programs that may be developed to help capture these energy savings.
