The chart uses Standard ASHRAE denitions:
A “Tight Home” is assumed to be well insulated with vapor barriers, tight storm windows and doors, and a dampered
replace. Air exchange rate of .5 changes per hour.
An “Average Home” is insulated and has a dampered re place, but there are no vapor barriers, storm doors, or
storm windows. Air exchange rate of 1.0 changes per hour.
A “Loose Home” is generally one constructed before 1930, has little or no insulation, no storm doors, storm windows,
weather stripping or vapor barriers, and often no effective dampering of replaces. Air exchange rate is as high as
1.5 changes per hour
