Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infiltration is the unintended air leakage into a building through gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and other openings. Weatherstripping is one of the most effective ways to reduce infiltration by sealing these gaps and cracks. Insulation, double pane windows, and lowering the thermostat can also help reduce infiltration, but they primarily address other energy efficiency concerns such as reducing heat loss or improving HVAC efficiency. Furnace maintenance is important for overall HVAC efficiency but does not directly address infiltration.
