Figure D25. Poorly sealed admin building doors (left) and a hangar door (right).
Excessive heating and cooling losses due to air leaks through poorly sealed
window frames can result in increased sensible and latent loads on heating and
cooling systems. In administrative and industrial buildings, poorly sealed doors
(Figures D24 and D25) can cause workers discomfort in adjacent areas. Appen-
dix E contains further information on air leakage pathways and their sealing.
