Air leakage through the building envelope into the building interiors has a considerable impact on the energy loads and consequently energy demand and energy costs of buildings. This phenomenon known as infiltration happens ...

Air leaks into a building through various openings and cracks in the building envelope. This leakage affects indoor air quality, human comfort and, primarily, building energy consumption. Several experimental studies have ...

The relative accuracy of current thermal simulation algorithms is evaluated against an intricate multiphysics hygrothermal computational fluid dynamics (CFD) building envelope analysis that incorporates, in addition to ...
