Abstract |
Airtightness is a key factor for saving building energy. The importance of the entrance door airtightness has been increased because the importance of the whole building airtightness has been increased. In this study, we investigated domestic standard and international ones of entrance door airtightness to establish criteria of entrance door airtightness. We reviewed various measured airtightness data in the previous studies. Also, we conducted field measurements for several entrance doors ? types were such as the swing, sliding, and revolving doors installed existing buildings. Fan pressurization method was used for the measurement based on ASTM E783/ASTM 2283 standard. We made an comparative analysis on the field measured data with the measured ones of other countries. |
