Five homes were tested by tracer gas and blower door to assess infiltration caused by leaks in air distribution systems. These homes are not a random sample and therefore may not give an accurate representation of Florida housing. Techniques used to determine the amount of return leak and the amount of infiltration caused by duct leaks are described.
