The appropriateness of this test procedure is a sub- ject of continuing debate, and is beyond the scope of this article. At the moment, however, the test procedure does not

Even if the test did include infiltration, the best way to develop a model would be to exclude the effects of air leakage from simulation and test results until the developer has confidence in the model, then work on the infiltration aspect.
