*^wind.TOTAI" f heat required for buUdin* in B-t.u. per hour at +4 deg. with 11-mile northwest 488.780
Notes.--(1) This building has no partitions and whatever air enters through the cracks on the wind
ward
must leave through the cracks on the leeward side. Therefore, only one-half of the total crack
will be used in computing infiltration for each side and each end of building.
(2) An exposure allowance of 15 per cent is also to be added to the wall and glass transmission losses and to the infiltration losses on the two adjacent sides of the building most nearly facing the prevailing wind as stated in the first paragraph on page 73.
(3) It is also possible to compute the heat required to take care of infiltration on the basis of half of an
air change per hour as given in Table 33 for a factory with minimum conditions. Volume -- 50 X 120
X IS = 96,000 cu. ft. and heat required per hour is
'
96,000 X M X 0.075 X 0.24 X 59.6 = 51.500 B.t.u. Based on infiltration through one-half the total crackage in all walls, the heat to be supplied per hour is from'Table 45
6,580 + 26,000 + 5,720 + 22.600 = 60,900 B.t.u.
The value based on crackage should be used, but if building is to be heated intermittently, not less than'
one air change per hour should be allowed.

8. Construction: Walls--Wood siding, building paper, wood Sheathing, studding, wood lath, and plaster. Roof--Wood shingles on 1 x 4 strips spaced 2 in. Attic Ceiling--Wood lath and plaster on roof rafters First Floor (over basement)--Maple flooring on rough flooring on floor joists
Doors (outside)--Three, 3 ft.x7 ft.xl% in.; one, 2 ft. 8 in. x7ft.x 1 ^in. No weatherstripping
Windows--Double-hung, single glass, weatherstripped.

10. Infiltration coefficients: Windows---The leakage per foot of crack for weatherstripped, doublehung, wood sash windows is 27.0 cu. ft. per hour for a 17-mile wind velocity. (By interpolation from Table 39, Part II.) The heat equiva lent is 27.9 X 0.075 X 0.24 = 0.5 B.t.u. per hour per foot of crack. Doors--Assume in. crack. Leakage = 139 cu. ft. per hour. (Table 39, Part II). Theheat equivalent is 139 X 0.075 X 0.24 = 2.50 B.t.u. per hour per foot of crack.
