A pass or fail can generally be confirmed while on site, and a full written report issued within 5 working days of completing the test. • Air leakage investigation and remedial works in case the building fails to achieve the required air-tightness standard (see Figures 3,4 and 5). Further investigation can be undertaken while on site to pin point the causes of the failure using infrared imaging, envelope testing in accordance with ISO 6781:1983 and ASTM C1060-90(1997), and smoke testing methods. Remedial works can then be agreed upon to bring the building envelope up to the necessary standard prior to carrying out a retest. In the end, buildings can be tested Figure 4 – Visible and Infrared Images of Air Leakage at Building Envelope Penetration. to verify performance levels based on codes, or requirements. Additionally, testing can be performed to achieve additional LEED credits through innovation points. Although energy costs have been the final factor to the requirement of air barriers, in my opinion, it is move in the right direction. Air leakage through the building envelope can lead to unnecessary heat loss in winter or heat gain in summer, condensation and moisture damage in hidden cavities, rain penetration, poor indoor temperature and humidity control, and excessive energy consumption. As awareness increases, the air barrier will be specified more and more and retro-active air-tightness measures on existing buildings will become the norm. Don’t wait for the codes to require it, do the smart thing now. Lee Durston is the Director of Building Sciences at BCRA in Tacoma, WA.
