Air Infiltration Report
Test Date: September 25th, 2018
Builder: Crestone Building Company
Contact: Scott Hoffman
Site Address: 4367 Columbine Drive, 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 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 HRV/ERV was in the off position. The blower door test was
performed in the garage man door. 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 ACH5o.
The blower door air leakage resulted in the following measurements: 1.7ACH5o
