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 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 Section 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

SECTION 01 10 00 - PART 4 - SECTION B20 - Page 4 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. 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 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:

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 must demonstrate the problem areas have been corrected. Submit the complete test and analysis for review and approval.
