how to define the infiltration rate?

I am working on a research for energy modelling of residential buildings. Measuring the infiltration rate is out of the scope of the research however it plays an important role in determining the internal environment. The buildings are quite draughty (windows and doors are not very well sealed). I'm using the IES-VE for modelling. How can I define the infiltration rate in this case?
