About this title

Synopsis

This book introduces a method for measuring air infiltration rates in buildings using sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as a tracer gas. The author describes a system for automating the operation of a gas chromatograph, which measures the concentration of SF6 in air samples. The system includes an automated sampling system and a tracer injection system. The author provides a detailed description of the system, including the calibration procedure and the instrument response. The author also presents an analysis of the departure from Beer's law, which is used to calculate the concentration of SF6 in air samples. The book concludes with a discussion of the limitations of the system and the potential for further development. This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of building science and energy efficiency.
