Air Tightness Goes Extreme: Lessons Learned in Unusual Building Environments

By Braun Intertec

Building testing is as unique as each building that is built. This presentation shows applying air tightness testing requirements and protocol in unusual building environments with three case studies: a dry room with an unfortunate event, a LEED building with USACE specifications, and a historic building campus renovated into living units. Each case explores how to make construction testing work and the obstacles to overcome.

Learn more about:

  • Air tightness building testing requirements and protocol in each setting with the testing standards.
  • Air tightness building testing for a dry room in a building addition with stringent test result requirements and re-testing due to a leak event.
  • Air tightness building testing for a building built with USACE specifications and LEED requirements, without test result requirements, but with a testing glitch.
  • Air tightness building testing for a historic building campus renovated into living units with no test result requirements, but with an infrared camera and smoke pencil.
