Whole Building Air Leakage Testing FAQs
Am I required to have Whole Building Air Leakage Testing?
While the US military has specific requirements pertaining to testing, not all States have requirements. This often falls on the building owner’s request or desire to have reassurance that their facility was properly constructed.
How is Air Barrier Square determined?
This is a combination of the roof, wall and exterior wall square footage (a six sided box).
Is there a way to assess an air barrier approach prior to construction?
When reviewing building plans, you should be able to trace the air barrier with a pencil all the way around a building. If you have to lift the pencil at any time…there will be an issue.
