Air Barrier Testing For LEED

Air Barrier Testing can be used to gain points under the Innovation in Design Category.   We recently performed a building envelope thermal scan and air leakage test at a LEED Certified bank.
LEED Certified Bank

To meet the LEED required air exchange rate, 3 fans would have been required if the building was built to the maximum allowable air leakage rate.  This building was so tight, though,  it took just 1 fan to reach the required pressure differential.

If you have a LEED project that requires air barrier testing or infrared scanning, please contact Thermo-Scan Inspections at tdunn@thermo-scan.com or 1-800-481-5748.  Visit our web site, http://www.thermo-scan.com/ for more information.
