DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1039791· OSTI ID:1039791

This project examines a large-scale renovation project within a 500 unit, 1960's era subsidized urban housing community. This research focuses on the airflow control and window replacement measures implemented as part of the renovations to the low-rise apartment buildings. The window replacement reduced the nominal conductive loss of the apartment enclosure by approximately 15%; air sealingmeasures reduced measured air leakage by approximately 40% on average.
