“…Imported materials vary widely in quality due to the absence of control and low-grade material use. They performed 13% below those locally produced and 9% below the average (Daoud et al, 1991). Addressing cultural, economic, technical issues, confirming the compatibility of products with shop drawings and in situ testing of products is important when using offshore products versus inshore ones (Hubbs, 2016).…”

The air leakage measured using the laboratory test of fenestration is important to gauge its initial performance and for certification. Field testing based on a statistical approach was carried out in this study on newly installed fenestration product to study the nature of distribution of air leakage measurements. The measured values from these tests were also compared to the laboratory tested value of the same product and to the values as suggested in field testing guidelines as provided in AAMA 502. Results indicate that field measured values at standard pressure difference follow a normal distribution with a mean and a variance. The results also show that while number of test results fall within a certain range of the laboratory value and the AAMA 502 stipulated value, there are number of values that are higher than them.

“…The building type has a shown a slight effect on window air infiltration performance. Residential buildings have 28% and 17% less air infiltration rates compared to those of office buildings, possibly due to extra care taken in selecting and maintaining windows (Daoud et al, 1991).…”
