The phrase "air infiltration" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to building construction, energy efficiency, or environmental science, referring to the unintended flow of air into a building.
Example: "The contractor emphasized the importance of sealing gaps to reduce air infiltration and improve energy efficiency."
Alternatives: "air leakage" or "air exchange".
Air infiltration is measured by gauges.
The work cost about $4,000 and the rate of air infiltration was cut by at least half, he said.
Examined and tried a jalousie whose crack length was doubled, while the allowable air infiltration was halved.
With older windows, however, "the No. 1 enemy is air infiltration or drafts," he said.
We test for air infiltration, water penetration, wind loads, heat loss, and in California there's a lot of structural testing for earthquakes.
The guidelines stipulate improved insulation, windows designed to improve thermal performance, high efficiency heating and cooling systems that are properly sized for the home, and reduced air infiltration, among other things.
MARRIOTTSVILLE, Md .— In the basement of Phyllis Fick's ordinary-looking suburban house, Tim Kenny of C&O Conservation, a nonprofit weatherization company, found black streaks of dirt on the yellow fiberglass insulation, evidence of air infiltration from the window beneath, a sure sign of an energy leak.
All projects like the Landaus' home are governed by the institute's Passive House Planning Package, a bit of modeling software that keeps the building process — almost always marked by unexpected questions and detours — closely tied to a strict baseline for overall energy use and air infiltration.
Cooling and dehumidification characteristics due to air infiltration were investigated.
Any air infiltration, contaminant gases (polluting materials), biological hazards and particulates are completely blocked.
This improves air infiltration, water infiltration, drainage and allows for deeper rooting depths.
