0.6 ACH at 50 Pa seems like the targetted maximum, though some passive houses have reportedly reached as low as 0.35 ACH.<BR>
<BR>
To convert those values to normal pressure (something like 12 Pa / 0.05 in. w.c.) I divide by 20.<BR>

Objet : [Bldg-sim] infiltration rate passive building<BR>
<BR>
Dear all,<BR>
<BR>
what is the standard (not 50Pa) infiltration rate I should use as input to<BR>
the TRNSYS type56 building model in case of simulating a passive house?<BR>
<BR>
thanks!<BR>
