Total Duct Leakage Test – Prescriptive Test-Window is opened (equalize inside and outside pressuresDuctwork (and Air Handler) are pressurized with duct blaster fan to 25Pascal’sCFM is measured going through fan at that pressure – that is equivalent toCFM of leakage at that time.This number is irrelevant without the square footage of the house. The squarefootage of the house is calculated including the basement.πΆπΉπ‘€π‘‡π‘œπ‘‘π‘Žπ‘™ πΏπ‘’π‘Žπ‘˜π‘Žπ‘”π‘’ 𝑒𝑑 πΉπ‘™π‘œπ‘œπ‘Ÿ π΄π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Ž (𝐢𝐹𝐴)This test is only required if ductwork is outside the conditioned spaceOption 1 – Post Construction Test4 CFM / 100 sqftOption 2 – Test at Rough In, with Air Handler installed4 CFM / 100 sqftOption 3 – Test at Rough In, without Air Handler installed3 CFM / 100 sqftOption 4 – Energy Rating Index – done by a HERS RaterVaries* If ductwork in an exterior wall or garage ceiling is insulted to the exterior withadequate foam sealed in place AND the insulated cavity is accounted for in theRESCHECK the ductwork is considered within the conditioned space.* Most common houses that need this test are slab on grade with ductwork in theattic or attic truss bonus room.RPH Consulting High Performance Building Specialists PO Box 448 Honeoye Falls, NY 14472
