Residential House and Zone Volumes in the United States: Empirical and Estimated Parametric Distributions

Donald M. Murray

Risk Analysis, 1997, vol. 17, issue 4, 439-446

Abstract: This research reports empirical distributions and estimated univariate parametric probability distributions for house volume and certain zone volumes within households for residential structures in the United States. The author derived the distributions from two separate databases. The volumes were found to be exceptionally well fit by lognormal distributions (adjusted R2 >> 0.95) in almost all cases. In addition, data from one database indicates that the correlation between house volume and air changes per hour is very weak.
