Partition-Level Air Leakage Rates in Newly Constructed Multi-Unit Residential Buildings (14 suites)
Description
Partition-level air leakage measurements for 14 suites in multi-unit residential buildings located in Southern Ontario, Canada. All test buildings were constructed and/or renovated between 2019 and 2022. Air leakage rates were determined using a guarded blower door test method, to isolate air leakage rates by partition type (floor/ceiling, building envelope, suite-to-corridor wall, suite-to-suite wall). Test data have been provided in .xlsx and .csv formats. v3 files include more detail on partition assembly types and list the number of penetrations for each interior wall assembly.
