Synopsis

A Prototype Semi-Automated System for Measuring Air Infiltration in Buildings Using Sulfur Hexafluoride as a Tracer Learn how a small gas-chromatograph system automates tracer gas measurements to estimate how air moves through a building.

This report describes a practical setup that introduces SF6 automatically into a building’s air and tracks its buildup and decay. It explains how calibration, measurement timing, and different sampling methods affect the accuracy of infiltration rate estimates, including when central HVAC changes the results. Real-world testing in a four-bedroom house shows how the system performs and what limits exist for unattended operation.


  • How tracer gas (SF6) is used to measure air infiltration rates in buildings

  • What the automated system looks like and how it operates with a small gas detector

  • How calibration, response drift, and measurement timing influence accuracy

  • Practical test results, including different sampling methods and common issues



Ideal for readers of building science, ventilation studies, and engineers seeking a hands-on view of automated tracer-dilution measurement techniques.
