Laboratory testing of HVAC components indicated that air leakage can be significant and highly variable from unit to unit – indicating the need for a standard test method and specifying maximum allowable air leakage in California State energy codes. To further this effort, this project provided technical assistance for the development of a national standard for Residential HVAC equipment air leakage. This standard is being developed by ASHRAE and is called &quot;ASHRAE Standard 193P ‐ Method of test for Determining the Air Leakage Rate of HVAC Equipment&quot;. The final part of this project evaluated techniques for measurement of furnace blower power consumption. A draft test procedure for power consumption was developed in collaboration with the Canadian General Standards Board: CSA 823 &quot;Performance Standard for air handlers in residential space conditioning systems&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-3383E</style></custom2></record></records></xml>
