Shaw, C. Y., (1987), "Mechanical Ventilation and Air Pressure in Houses", CBD-245.
Abstract:
This Digest describes, very briefly, three types of mechanical ventilation system for houses and their effect on the air pressure and the operation of other appliances. It presents a method of determining the required air-flow rate of a mechanical ventilation system that will take advantage of increased air infiltration in winter.
