Btus/cu ft,Wood-15-20 million Btus/cord

Building Airflow Atandard-BAS - the caculated minimum airflow required for a building
and the occupants. Mechanical ventiliation is required if the measured CFM50 is less
than 70% of the BAS

Building Cavities - (also referred to as interstitial spaces)- Spaces inside walls,floors,
and ceilings between the interior and exterior sheathing
