In buildings equipped with mechanical exhaust, the pressure differences between indoors and outdoors before renovation varied from +10,1 to -95,0 Pa (average -7,8 Pa), and between indoors and staircases from -3,5 to -6,0 Pa (average -18,6 Pa), being lower than -5 Pa in 36% of the buildings. read more
