AI summary The document presents detailed data on insulation values, window and door U-factors, and air leakage rates for various building components. It includes tables with nominal and effective RSI (R) values, areas, and other technical specifications for attic, walls, floors, windows, doors, and basement insulation, as well as air tightness measurements.
Airtightness describes how well the building envelope resists air leakage and is measured in air changes per hour at 50 pascals (ACH@50 Pa). The fewer air changes per hour, the more airtight the building envelope is. Equivalent leakage are...
AI summary Airtightness refers to how well a building envelope resists air leakage, measured in air changes per hour at 50 pascals (ACH@50 Pa). Lower ACH@50 Pa indicates a more airtight building. Equivalent leakage area is another metric that describes the total leakage as if it were a single hole, with smaller areas indicating better energy efficiency.
UPGRADE CONSIDERATIONS Before undertaking upgrades or renovations, find out about appropriate products and installation techniques, and ensure that all renovations meet local building codes and by-laws. Natural Resources Canada does not en...
AI summary The document provides guidance on considering upgrades and renovations, emphasizing compliance with local building codes and the importance of consulting qualified professionals for health and safety concerns. It also notes that Natural Resources Canada does not endorse specific contractors or products.

AI summary Airtightness refers to how well a building envelope resists air leakage, measured in air changes per hour at 50 pascals (ACH@50 Pa). A lower ACH@50 Pa indicates a more airtight building. Equivalent leakage area is another metric, representing the size of a single hole if all leaks were combined. A smaller equivalent leakage area means less energy is needed for temperature control, though proper ventilation is still required.
