Box 1434, Edwards, CO 81632 | P: 970.306.4237 formerly 2440 Chamonix Lane Air Infiltration Report Test Date: May 9th, 2018 Builder: Vail Custom Builders Contact: Greg Johnson Site Address: 2440 Chamonix Lane, Vail, CO 81657 Site Visit By: Jason Weingast Background The project goal is to undergo testing at the final point in construction to determine if the unit meets the 2015 IECC requirements for infiltration. Active Energies was contracted to perform a final blower door test to determine total air infiltration. The home is permitted under the Town of Vail and requires blower door testing per the IECC. The blower door testing must show a tested value of 3 ACH50 or lower in order to comply with the IECC. Site Observations Construction of the building envelope was complete. All exterior openings were shut and locked and interior doors were open. The dryer vent was taped as the appliance was not installed at the time of testing. The blower door test was performed in the front door to the unit. The pressure probe was placed outside. Blower Door Test The unit was depressurized, utilizing blower door testing equipment to a pressure of -50 Pa. At the test pressure, the CFM50 was recorded, in order to determine the ACH50. The blower door air leakage resulted in the following measurements: 1.95ACH50 Please call with any questions or concerns.
