B20 1.2.3.1 Air Barrier Inspection

Coordinate all subcontractors that provide part of the air barrier construction to provide an air tight barrier.

Review the air barrier prior to being covered by subsequent construction to confirm that the air barrier complies with the following requirements;

a. Prior to applying an air barrier, confirm that the substrate complies with conditions required by the applied air barrier material manufacturer.

b. Air barrier must create a continuous barrier, without gaps, "fish mouths", holes, unsealed seams, or unsealed penetrations.

c. Air barrier components are compatible and capable of being permanently connected to form an air tight barrier.

d. Construction of the air barrier complies with air barrier design as indicated in the Basis of Design and exterior enclosure barrier drawings.

http://www.airbarrier.org/materials/assemblies_e.php

B20 1.2.3.2 Air Barrier Performance Testing

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 http://www.airbarrier.org/materials/assemblies_e.php 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 utility penetrations in service rooms, elevator rooms and shafts.

4. Exterior walls. These include weather strip doors and windows, exhaust fans and ducts, service penetrations, electrical receptacles, wall base.

B20 1.2.4 Thermal Envelope Performance Testing (Infrared Thermography)

Where required in RFP Part 3 or B20 1.2.3.2 Air Barrier Performance Testing, provide infrared thermal testing and repair as follows (coordinate with air barrier testing):

a. Test the building envelope using Infrared Thermography technology. Complete thermography testing in accordance with the requirements of ASTM C1060 and ISO 6781. The Contracting Officer will witness the testing. Testing must occur just before the building air tightness test. Testing must also occur during the air tightness test so that areas of building air leaks are detected. If the building air tightness test is failed, repeat thermographic testing just before and during subsequent air tightness tests until the air tightness test is successful.

b. Thermography Test Procedures: Submit detailed test procedures indicating the test apparatus, the test methods and procedures, and the analysis methods to be employed not later than 60 days after Notice to Proceed.

c. Thermography Test Report: Provide a report. The report must include thermographs in color and a color temperature scale to define the temperature indicated by the various colors.

The report must identify the high temperature reading, the outdoor air temperature, the building indoor air temperature, and the wind speed and direction. The report must note any areas of compromise in the building envelope, and must note all actions required and taken to correct those areas.

d. Final Test: Final thermography test report…
