[Bldg-sim] RE : infiltration rate passive building

[Genest, Frederic]

Greetings.

0.6 ACH at 50 Pa seems like the targetted maximum, though some passive houses have reportedly reached as low as 0.35 ACH.

To convert those values to normal pressure (something like 12 Pa / 0.05 in. w.c.) I divide by 20.

Objet : [Bldg-sim] infiltration rate passive building
 
Dear all,

what is the standard (not 50Pa) infiltration rate I should use as input to
the TRNSYS type56 building model in case of simulating a passive house?

thanks!

Leen
