To ensure all state and higher education projects delivered actual results, the State of Utah developed its own building performance program, the High-Performance Building Standard (HPBS), and set an aggressive air leakage requirement. This performance metric, established over ten years ago, was four times tighter than the current code required 0.40 CFM/sf (when tested per ASTM E779 utilizing both pressurization and depressurization), a challenging but achievable goal that many other organizations have since followed.
This on-site testing demonstration of the project’s six-sided mockup will provide a snapshot of the commissioning process. It will review the realities of supporting teams through the various ASTM and AAMA testing requirements typically leveraged in a 0.1-level effort. Additionally, it will provide insight directed toward designers to help them better understand the nuances, challenges, and rewards of a holistic enclosure commissioning process.
