CHAPTER 6. INFILTRATION AND VENTILATION
‘The data in this chapter is based on ASHAE tests
evaluating the infiltration and ventilation quantities
of outdoor air. These outdoor air quantities nor-
mally have a different heat content than the air
within the conditioned space and, therefore, impose
a load on the air conditioning equipment.
In the case of infiltration, the load manifests itself
directly within the conditioned space. ‘The ventila-
tion air, taken thru the conditioning apparatus,
imposes a load both on the space thru apparatus
bypass effect, and directly on the conditioning
equipment,
‘The data in this chapter is based on ASHAE tests
and years of practical experience.
INFILTRATION
Infiltration of air and particularly moisture into
« conditioned space is frequently a source of sizable
heat gain or loss. The quantity of infiltration air
varies according to tightness of doors and windows,
porosity of the building shell, height of the build:
ing, stairwells, elevators, direction and velocity of
wind, and the amount of ventilation and exhaust
air. Many of these cannot be accurately evaluated
‘and must be based on the judgment of the estimator,
Generally, infiltration may be caused by wind
velocity, or stack effort, or bot!
1. Wind Velocity ~The wind velocity builds up a
pressure on the windward side of the building
and a slight vacuum on the leeward side. The
outdoor pressure build-up causes air to infil
urate thru crevices in the construction and
cracks around the windows and doors, This, in
turn, causes a slight build-up of pressure inside
the building, resulting in an equal amount of
exfileration on the leeward side,
2. Difference in Density or Stack Effect — The
variations in temperatures and humidities pro-
duce differences in density of air between inside
and outside of the building. In tall buildings
this density difference causes summer and win.

This opposite direction flow balances at some
neutral point near the mid-height of the build:
ing. Air flow thru the building openings in.
‘creases proportionately between the neutral
point and the top and the neutral point and
bottom of the building. The infiltration from
stack effect is greatly influenced by the height
of the building and the presence of open stair-
ways and elevators,

INFILTRATION THRU WINDOWS AND DOORS, SUMMER
Infiltration during the summer is caused primarily
by the wind velocity creating a pressure on the wind:
ward side. Stack effect is not normally a significant
factor because the density difference is slight, (0.073
Ibjeu fe at 75 F db, 50% rh and 0,070 Ibjeu fe at
95 F db, 75 F wh). This small stack effect in tall
buildings (over 100 f1) causes air to flow in the top
and out the bottom. Therefore, the air infiltrating
in the top of the building, because of the wind1.90
pressure, tends to flow down thru the building and
‘out the doors on the street Ievel, thereby offsetting
some of the infiltration thru them.
In low buildings, air infiltrates thru open doors
on the windward side unless sufficient outdoor air is
introduced thru the air conditioning equipment to
offset it; refer to “Offsetting Infiltration with Out
door Air.”
With doors on opposite walls, the infiltration can
be considerable if the two are open at the same time.
Basis of Table 41
= Infiltration thru Windows and Doors, Summer
‘The data in Tables 41a, b and c is based on a
wind velocity of 7.5 mph blowing directly at the
window or door, and on observed crack widths
around typical windows and doors. This data is
derived from Table 44 which lists infiltration chru
‘racks around windows and doors as established by
ASHAE tests
Table 41d shows values to be used for doors on
‘opposite walls for various percentages of time that
each door is open.
‘The data in Table 41e is based on actual tests of
typical applications.

‘The data in Table 41 is used to determine the
infiltration thru windows and doors on the wind
ward side with the wind blowing directly at them.
When the wind direction is oblique to the windows
or doors, multiply the values in Tables 41a, b, ¢, d,
by 0.60 and apply to otal areas. For specific loca
tions, adjust the values in Table 41 to the design
wind velocity; refer to Table 1, page 10.
During the summer, infiltration is calculated for
the windward side(s) only, because stack effect is
small and, therefore, causes the infiltration air to
flow in a downward direction in tall buildings
(over 100 ft), Some of the air infiltrating thru the
windows will exfiltrate thru the windows on the
leeward side(), while the remaining infiltration air
flows out the doors, thus offsetting some of the infil:

this by .80, and subtract from the door infiltration,

COFFSETTING INFILTRATION WITH OUTDOOR AIR,
SUMMER
Completely offsetting infiltration by the introduc.
tion of outdoor air thru the air conditioning appara
tus is normally uneconomical except in buildings
with few windows and doors, The outdoor air so
introduced must develop a pressure equal to the
wind velocity to offset infiltration. This pressure
causes exfiltration thru the leeward walls at a rate
equal to wind velocity. Therefore, in a four sided
building with equal crack areas on each side and
the wind blowing against one side, the amount of
‘outdoor air introduced thru the apparatus must be
a little more than three times the amount that infil:
tates, Where the wind is blowing against wo sides,
the outdoor air must be a little more than equal to
that which infiltrates.
Offsetting swinging door infiltration is not quite
as difficult because air takes the path of least resist-
tance, normally an open door. Most of the outdoor
air introduced thru the apparatus flows out the door
when it is opened. Also, in tall buildings the window
infiltration tends to ow out the door.
‘The infiltration thru revolving doors is caused by
displacement of the air in the door quadrants, is
almost independent of wind velocity and, therefore,
‘cannot be offset by outdoor air.
Basis of Table 42

Some of the outdoor air introduced thru the ap-

INFILTRATION THRU WINDOWS AND DOORS, WINTER
Infiltration thru windows and doors during the
winter is caused by the wind velocity and also stack
effect. The temperature differences during the win-
ter are considerably greater than in summer and,
therefore, the density difference is greater; at 75 F
db and 30% rh, density is .0788; at 0°F db, 40% rh,
density is .0865. Stack effect causes air to flow in at
the bottom and out at the top, and in many cases
requires spot heating at the doors on the street level
to maintain conditions. In applications where there
is considerable infiltration on the street level, much
of the infiltration thru the windows in the upper
levels will be offset.
Basis of Table 43
= Infiltration thru Windows and Doors, Winter
The data in Table 43 is based on a wind velocity
of 15 mph blowing directly at the window or door
and on observed crack widths around typical win-
dows and doors. The infiltration thru these cracks
is calculated from Table #4 which is based on
ASHAE tests
Use of Table 43
Infiltration thru Windows and Doors, Winter
Table 43 is used to determine the infiltration of
air thru windows and doors on the windward side
during the winter. The stack effect in tall buildings
increases the infiltration thra the doors and windows
on the lower levels and decreases it on the upper
levels. Therefore, whenever the door infiltration is
increased, the infiltration thru the upper levels must
be decreased by 80% of the net increase in door
infiltration. The infiltration from stack effect on the
leeward sides of the building is determined by using
the difference between the equivalent velocity (V,)
and the actual velocity (Vas outlined in Example 3
‘The data in Table 43 is based on the wind blowing
directly at the windows and doors. When the wind
direction is oblique to the windows and doors, multi-
ly the values by 0.60 and use the total window and
door area on the windward sides,

INFILTRATION — CRACK METHOD (Summer or Winter)
‘The crack method of evaluating infiltration is
‘more accurate than the area methods. It is difficult
to establish the exact crack dimensions but, in cer-
tain close tolerance applications, it may be necessary
to evaluate the load accurately. The crack method is
applicable both summer and winter.
Basis of Table 44
Infiltration thru Windows and Doors, Crack Method.
The data on windows in Table 4 are based on
ASHAE tests, These test results have been reduced
20% because, as infiltration occurs on one side, a
certain amount of pressure builds up in the build:
ing, thereby reducing the infiltration. The data on
glass and factory doors has been calculated from
observed typical crack widths.

VENTILATION STANDARDS.
‘The introduction of outdoor air for ventilation of
conditioned spaces is necessary to dilute the odors
given off by people, smoking and other internal
air contaminants,
The of ventilation required varies
primarily with the total number of people, the ceil
ing height and the number of people smoking.
People give off body odors which require a mini
mum of 5 cfm per person for satisfactory dilution,
Seven and one half cim per person is recommended.
This is based on a population density of 50 to 75
sq ft per person and a typical ceiling height of 8 ft.
With greater population densities, the ventilation
quantity should be increased, When people smoke,
the additional odors given off by cigarettes or cigars
require a minimum of 15 to 25 elm per person. In
special gathering rooms with heavy smoking, 80 to
50 cfm per person is recommended.
Basis of Table 45
Ventilation Standards
The data in Table 45 is based on test observation
of the clean outdoor air required to maintain satis.
factory odor levels with people smoking and not
smoking. These test results were then extrapolated
for typical concentrations of people, both stoking
and not smoking, for the applications listed.
Use of Toble 45
Ventilation Standards
Table 43 is used to determine the minimum and
recommenced ventilation air quantity for the listed
values ate used and the minimum cfm per person
and cfm per sq ft of floor area are listed, use the
larger minimum quantity. Where the crowd density
is greater than normal or where better than satis-
factory conditions are desired, use the recommended
values,
SCHEDULED VENTILATION
In comfort applications, where local codes permit,
itis possible to reduce the capacity requirements of
the installed equipment by reducing the ventilation
air quantity at the time of peak load, This quantity
can be reduced at times of peak to, in effect, mini«
‘mize the outdoor air load, At times other than peak
load, the calculated outdoor ait quantity is used.
Scheduled ventilation is recommended only for in:
stallations operating more than 12 hours or 3 hours
longer than occupancy, to allow some time for flush:
ing out the building when no odors are being gen-
erated. It has been found, by tests, that few com:
plaints of stuffiness are encountered when the out-
door air quantity is reduced for short periods of
time, provided the flushing period is available. It is
recommended that the outdoor air quantity be re
duced to no less than 40% of the recommended
quantity as listed in Table 4.
‘The procedure for estimating and controlling
scheduled ventilation is as follows;
1. In estimating the cooling load, reduce the air
quantity at design conditions to a minimum of
40% of the recommended air quantity.
2 Use a dry-bulb thermostat following the cook
ing and dehumidifying apparatus to control
the leaving dewpoint such that:CHAPTER 6. INFILTRATION AND VENTILATION

a. With the dewpoint at design, the damper
‘motor closes the outdoor air damper to 40%
Of the design ventilation air quantity.
. As the dewpoint decreases below design, the
‘outdoor air damper opens to the design
setting.

‘500054 ft ofce with a ceiling height of 8 ft and 80 people.
Approximately 40%, ofthe people smoke.
Find:
"The ventilation air quantity.
Solution:
“The population density i typical, 100 sq fe per person, but
the nusnber of smokers is considerable
‘Recommended ventilation = 50 % 15 = 750 cfm (Table 45)
Minimum ven 0% 10 = 500 elm (Table 45)
500 cfm will more than likely not maintain satisfactory
conditions within the space because the number of smokers
is considerable. Therelore, 750 elm should be used in this
application
NOTE: Many applications have exhaust fans, This means
that the outdoor air quantity must at least equal
the exhausted air; otherwise the infltrtion rate
will increase. Tables 4 and 47 list the approximate
capacities of typical exhaust fans. The data in these
lables were obtained from published ratings of sev
feral manufacturers of exhatst fans.
