Abstract
Air exchange rates, of an unpartitioned mobile home were measured at various indoor-outdoor temperature differences, using SF6 tracer in an environmental chamber, and found to be lower than for conventional buildings but similar to other mobile homes. There was little scatter from the regression equation I = 0.0182 + 0.0118 (delta T), with relative standard errors of the first and second coefficients of 62 and 2.5%, respectively.
