I know this forum is mostly for energy modeling but some of us have to model existing buildings, and when you model existing buildings sometimes you have to measure them. So - how do you determine what the ACH from natural infiltration is in a leaky old building? It could be 0.6; it could be 1.6.
What methods do you use? Utility bill calibration seems to be about the best the industry can do, but I'd like to know if anyone has better ideas.
