Pressure Estimate
• 0.01” = 2’ air throw
• 2.5 pa = 0.6 m air throw
• (40’wide house) 0.10” = 20’ & (66’) 0.14” = 28’
• (12m) 25 pa = 6m & (20m) 35 pa = 8.5m

House Tightness Testing

• Close Up The House Heat Loss - Rule of Thumb
• Turn On 1 cfm/sqft
• 20,000 sqft = 20,000 cfm •5
(34,000cmh for 1,824m2
• 16,000 sqft = 16,000 cfm
house)
• 50
• <0.10” in high ceiling (25pa)
• <0.15” in low ceiling (37.5pa)
• 5,000
• <0.20” in new dropped ceiling (50pa)
