[Equest-users] Airflow

[Katie Mac]

Hello!

I have two questions

1) For the air infiltration (both the building envelope and air flow
sections), does EQuest require CFM50 or CFM measurements?

2) Does anyone have any academic articles about how to convert from CFM to
CFM50?  I've found information on the LBL infiltration model (CFM = CFM50/N,
where N is the leakage-infiltration ratio) derived by M. Sherman.  However,
I can't find articles explaining the K-P model derived by Kronval and
Persily that just simply divides the annual infiltration rate by 20.

Thanks so much!
Katie
