Recycled Materials Considerations:

An Affirmative Procurement Program has been established within the Federal government to promote the purchase of products containing recovered materials. This program promotes the purchase of products containing materials recovered from the solid waste stream. The intent is to conserve resources and reduce solid waste by developing markets for recycled products and encouraging manufacturers to produce quality recycled content products. The contractors shall use products that meet or exceed the

EPA guideline standards for recovered content as required by the Federal Acquisition Regulations

(FAR). Availability lists of manufacturers and EPA research on product usage are on the Construction

Criteria Base (CCB) at http://www.ccb.org under Documents Library, NAVFAC Criteria. A partial list of products containing recycled materials for possible use is as follows:

Rock Wool Insulation

Fiberglass Insulation

B20 1.2.5 Air Barrier Performance Testing http://www.airbarrier.org/materials/assemblies_e.php

PART 4 - Page | 15

Provide air barrier testing and repair as follows (coordinate with infrared thermal testing):

a. Provide a testing plan as a part of the Commissioning Plan and notify the Contracting

Officer 7 working days before the testing will take place. Do not test the building until verifying that the continuous air barrier is in place and installed without failures in accordance with installation instructions so that repairs to the continuous air barrier, if needed to comply with the required air leakage rate, can be done in a timely manner.

Also coordinate building access during the test with the Contracting Officer. Perform pretest inspection with all parties involved in the test and possible repairs of the building enclosure. Record pretest conditions and utilize pictures to assist in the documentation.

b. Designer of Record (DOR) must utilize UFGS Section 07 05 23, Pressure Testing an Air

Barrier System for Air Tightness,and Contractor must perform testing as described in that specification. Where conflicts exist between the UFGS Section 07 05 23 and this performance specification, UFGS Secction 07 05 23 will govern. The air leak flow rate must not exceed 0.25 CFM at 75 Pa per square foot (0.076 cmm 75 Pa per square meter) of building enclosure area including roof or ceiling, walls and floor as provided by the

DOR.

Method 1: This test consists of measuring the flow rates required to establish 12 positive and 12 negative building pressures from at least 25 Pa to at least 50 Pa. Take at least 12 bias pressure readings across the building enclosure averaged over 5 seconds each before and after the test. None of these readings must exceed 30% of the minimum test pressure.

Method 2: this test consists of measuring the flow rates required to establish 12 positive building pressures from at least 50 Pa to at least 75 Pa. Takeat least 12 bias pressure readings across the building enclosure averaged over 5 seconds each before and after the test. None of these readings must exceed 20% of the minimum test pressure.

The test results must be either pass or fail. Provide the theoretical size of the opening that leaks the same amount as the building enclosure at 75 Pa, to facilitate the search for leaks and repair of the exterior enclosure.

c. Provide infrared thermography to determine air leakage paths if facility fails to retain the required air pressure in the test above. Utilize infrared cameras with a resolution of 0.1 degree C or better.

Perform infrared thermography in accordance with ISO 6781:1983 and American

Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1060 and B20 1.2.4 Thermal Envelope

Performance Testing (Infrared Thermography). Determine air leakage pathways in accordance with ASTM E1186-03 Standard Practices for Air Leakage Site Detection in

Building Envelopes and Air Barrier Systems, and perform corrective work as necessary to achieve the whole building air leakage rate specified.

Modify construction to stop identified air leakage until target is reached. Correct air path leaks at the source of the leak, do not use sealant to close air leakage paths that are required to be opened for maintenance of the facility such as fixtures, switches covers, receptacle covers, access doors, etc.

d. Seal air leaks in the following order of priority:

1. Top of the building. These include attics, roof/wall intersections, penthouse doors and walls, HVAC equipment.

2. Bottom of the building. These include ground floor access doors and inspection hatches, exhaust and air intake vents, service penetrations of enclosure, crawl spaces.

3. Vertical shafts. These include gasket stairwell fire doors, fire hose cabinets and recessed toilet accessories connected to vertical shaft, vertical and horizontal

Cure four cylinders in the same manner as the panels and place at the point where the poorest curing conditions are offered. Moist cure two cylinders and test at 28 days.

c. Changes in Proportions: If, the compressive strength falls below that specified, adjust the mix proportions and water content and make necessary changes in the temperature, moisture, and curing procedures to secure the specified strength.

Notify the Contracting Officer of all changes.

d. Strength Test Results: Evaluate compression test results at 28 days in accordance with ACI 214 using a coefficient of variation of 20 percent.
