There is currently no way to know what an air infiltration measurement value for a multifamily dwelling unit represents. I propose adding an AirInfiltrationMeasurement/TypeOfInfiltrationLeakage element with choices of:

  • building total
  • unit total
  • unit exterior only
  • unit interior only

The element is documented as:

This element is intended to describe the type of infiltration measured, e.g., for an individual single-family attached or multifamily dwelling unit. Either whole building or single unit infiltration can be measured. For single unit infiltration, leakage can occur through exterior surfaces, interior surfaces, or both. For example, guarded tests measure unit exterior leakage, unguarded or compartmentalization tests measure unit total leakage, and combining both tests can measure unit interior leakage.

Some questions:

  • What do you specify for a single-family detached home?
  • How do you distinguish between whole building leakage and unit leakage when you're describing a single dwelling unit?

Support for moving forward with something like the LeakageLocation proposal.
