The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
24、 established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

30、2015ISO 9972:2015(E)IntroductionThe fan-pressurization method is intended to characterize the air permeability of the building envelope or parts thereof. It can be used, for example,a) to measure the air permeability of a building or part thereof for compliance with a design air-tightness specificat
31、ion,b) to compare the relative air permeability of several similar buildings or parts of buildings, andc) to determine the air-leakage reduction resulting from individual retrofit measures applied incrementally to an existing building or part of building.The fan pressurization method does not measur
32、e the air infiltration rate of a building. The results of this method can be used to estimate the air infiltration rate and resulted heat load by means of calculation.Other methods, like tracer gas, are applicable when it is desired to obtain a direct measurement of the air infiltration rate. A sing
33、le tracer gas measurement, however, gives limited information on the performance of ventilation and infiltration of buildings.The fan-pressurization method applies to measurements of air flow through the construction from outside to inside or vice versa. It does not apply to air flow measurements fr
34、om outside through the construction and back to outside.The proper use of this International Standard requires knowledge of the principles of air flow and pressure measurements. Ideal conditions for the test described in this International Standard are small temperature differences and low wind spee
35、ds. For tests conducted in the field, it needs to be recognized that field conditions can be less than ideal. Nevertheless, strong winds and large indoor-outdoor temperature differences are to be avoided.vi ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 9972:2015Thermal performance of buildings Determination
36、 of air permeability of buildings Fan pressurization method1 ScopeThis International Standard is intended for the measurement of the air permeability of buildings or parts of buildings in the field. It specifies the use of mechanical pressurization or depressurization of a building or part of a buil
37、ding. It describes the measurement of the resulting air flow rates over a range of indoor-outdoor static pressure differences.This International Standard is intended for the measurement of the air leakage of building envelopes of single-zone buildings. For the purpose of this International Standard,
38、 many multi-zone buildings can be treated as single-zone buildings by opening interior doors or by inducing equal pressures in adjacent zones.International Standard does not address evaluation of air permeability of individual components.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in
