This technique is best suited to low-accuracy, large dataset problems where detailed data are not available. The method is similar to the method attributed to Kronvall and Persily (i.e. the K-P method), but is derived from a physical model, the LBL infiltration model. The estimation technique is developed assuming a typical, single-story dwelling; correction factors for common variations in building and environmental conditions are tabulated. A map of the leakage-infiltration ratio in the U.S. for the reference case is also presented.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBL-21463</style></custom2><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">81</style></section></record></records></xml>
