With new whole building airtightness testing requirements in both IECC and ASHRAE 90.1, there is increasing concern among the construction industry about the impact of this testing. What happens when a test fails? What impact will testing have on construction schedules? How do we plan for these tests with minimal disruption? How do we know the testing is being done properly?
