AbstracttAn air-handler fan pressurization method can be used to estimate envelope leakage in large or tall build-ings. However, because the size of a building’s air handling system is designed only to meet heating andcooling demands, there may be many unanticipated problems on the test site. For example, one may notbe able to perform the envelope leakage test using the air-handler fan(s) with relatively high pressuredifferences across the building envelope (e.g. 50?75 Pa). In order to overcome the insufficient pressur-ization problem faced during the air handler fan pressurization test, a combination of an air-handler anda blower door is proposed and verified by performing a pressurization test in an office building. It wasfound that the proposed method is feasible for evaluating the overall envelope leakage in large or tallbuildings.
