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
