LBNL's Energy Performance of Buildings Group, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy, is collecting building leakage data (envelope, ducts, etc.) of new homes.
Your data will be used to help us evaluate national trends in new construction air-tightness and energy efficiency.
All data will be confidential (individual houses will not be identified).
And, of course, all data sources will be acknowledged.

Data Format

Send us your data files in whatever electronic format they are in.
Text, Microsoft Excel or database formats (Microsoft Access, etc.) are preferred.
We can convert from most any other file format.

Types of Measurements Needed

Envelope and duct leakage measurements of new single-family detached dwellings.
Measurements taken within one year of construction.
Data for other houses welcome (we can sort for the new houses)
Raw data and/or "finished" data.
