Comment #1

Amendment: Proposed Amendment on Correction to Chapter 8 Calculation of Specific Leakage Area (SLA)
Page Number: unknown. No copy of Draft
Paragraph / Figure / Table / Note: Section 502.8.2
Comment Type: Technical

Comment:

I agree with existing proposed ammendment to change SLA formula to

"SLA= 0.00694 x ELA / building floor area(square feet)

It should also be added that ELA must be referenced to 4 Pa.  Washington State for example uses ELA at 50 Pa

Justification for Change:

It should also be added that ELA must be referenced to 4 Pa. Washington State for example uses ELA at 50 Pa and the Canadian ELA which is in common use could be used in its place.
 

Proposed Change:

Change:

"Where ELA is in square inches"

to

"Where ELA (Effective Leakage Area) referenced to 4 Pa is in square inches"
