writte I report of the results of the test shall be signed by the party conducting the test and provided to the code official. Testing shall be
perfo ed at any time after creation of all penetrations of the building thermal envelope.
l: Testing is not required for additions, alterations, renovations, or repairs, of the building thermal envelope of existing buildings in
new construction is less than 85 percent of the building thermal envelope.
During testing:
1. Exterior windows and doors, fireplace and stove doors shall be closed, but not sealed, beyond the intended
weatherstripping or other infiltration control measures.
2. Dampers including exhaust, intake, makeup air, backdraft and flue dampers shall be closed, but not sealed beyond
intended infiltration control measures.
3. Interior doors, if installed at the time of the test, shall be open.
4. Exterior doors for continuous ventilation systems and heat recovery ventilators shall be closed and sealed.
5. Heating and cooling systems, if installed at the time of the test, shall be turned off.
6. Supply and return registers, if installed at the time of the test, shall be fully open.
.2 Fireplaces. New wood -burning fireplaces shall have tight -fitting flue dampers or doors, and outdoor combustion air. Where using
ing doors on factory -built fireplaces listed and labeled in accordance with UL 127, the doors shall be tested and listed for the fireplace.
using tight -fitting doors on masonry fireplaces, the doors shall be listed and labeled in accordance with UL 907.
.3 Fenestration air IeakageWindows, skylights and sliding glass doors shall have an air infiltration rate of no more than 0.3 cfm per
foot (1.5 Us/m2), and swinging doors no more than 0.5 cfm per square foot (2.6 Us/m2), when tested according to NFRC 400 or
WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 by an accredited, independent laboratory and listed and labeled by the manufacturer.
Exception: Site -built windows, skylights and doors.
