Download or read book Evaluating Test Equipment for Air Tightness of Construction Details written by Kevin Knight and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Building Code 1985 identified the need to control movement of air through the exterior walls of buildings. The 1995 National Building Code has now placed recommendations on the amount of allowable leakage. When the air barrier is being installed during the construction period it is practically impossible to monitor air tightness of the installation, in a quantified form. Retro-Specs Ltd. has developed equipment and a method for identifying leaks in construction details of air barrier systems, during construction, with "pass/fail" results. This report examines the performance and durability of the test equipment. Phase 1 covers the development of the testing equipment to a working model stage, suitable for field testing. Phase 2 incorporates field tests, both locally in Manitoba and one building in Montreal. Comparative testing was conducted versus existing smoke trace leakage tests, fan curve tests, pressure differential activated chamber testing system, pressure differential versus elapsed running time and pressure differential versus leakage area tests. The results were analyzed and conclusions drawn on the performance of the new testing method and equipment. The results obtained from this program have proven that the Pressure Activated Chamber Test System of P.A.C.T.S. machine's components are durable, results in superior installation of air barrier systems, with the testing procedures having little impact upon the critical path of the construction schedule.

Download or read book Building Ventilation written by Mat Santamouris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensuring optimum ventilation performance is a vital part of building design. Prepared by recognized experts from Europe and the US, and published in association with the International Energy Agency's Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC), this authoritative work provides organized, classified and evaluated information on advances in the key areas of building ventilation, relevant to all building types. Complexities in airflow behaviour, climatic influences, occupancy patterns and pollutant emission characteristics make selecting the most appropriate ventilation strategy especially difficult. Recognizing such complexities, the editors bring together expertise on each key issue. From components to computer tools, this book offers detailed coverage on design, analysis and performance, and is an important and comprehensive publication in this field. Building Ventilation will be an invaluable reference for professionals in the building services industry, architects, researchers (including postgraduate students) studying building service engineering and HVAC, and anyone with a role in energy-efficient building design.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focuses on a type of material mainly used in place of compacted backfill for pipe embedment and backfill, but gaining widely in applications. It is a mixture of cementitious material, soil, water, and sometimes fly ash and admixtures. Here 26 papers, from a June 1997 symposium in St. Louis, Missouri, describe new design procedures, new applications, and installation innovations in order to help assess the need for new or revised standards. They cover ingredients, properties, test methods, standards and specifications, case histories, and pipeline applications. The five current standards are appended.
