Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the design and construction of a mobile test facility for measuring the air leakage characteristics of large single cell factory and warehouse units. Twelve factory units of various different construction types have been tested and the ventilation rate has been predicted for all of the factories using a BSRIA air infiltration calculation model. The air infiltration rates have been calculated for mean wind speeds at three wind directions and for a temperature difference of 10 deg.C. The results of the air infiltration rates have been further processed to provide the ventilation heat loss of each unit based on a normal five day working week and the results have been compared with the CIBSE guidance data. Additionally the results have been compared with what is considered to be readily achievable reductions in the ventilation of these buildings by careful attention to sealing the structures where air leakage paths through the structure are reasonably identifiable. The main conclusion to be drawn from the results of this research project is that the CIBSE ventilation allowances are lower than are being realised in practice and that there is considerable score for energy conservation by better sealing of these types of structures.
