The building was depressurized and the testing procedure performed as per ICC–380.4.3.2. Test conditions were as follows: Fan location - Unit C entry Door 400’ above sea level 773 CFM50 45°F outside air temperature 60°F inside air temperature Pre-Test Baseline Building Pressure -1.4 Pa -50.0 Pa testing pressure TEC DG-1000 & Model 3 Fan Boundary Area Calculated via architectural plans Altitude Correction Factor = (1+(.000006 x altitude)) x CFM50 = n/a Results: ( 773 CFM75 x 0.985 ) / ( 3,052 boundary area) = 0.250 cfm/ft2 IECC – C402.5 - The thermal envelope of buildings shall comply with Sections C402.5.1 through C402.5.8, or the building thermal envelope shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E 779 at a pressure differential of 0.3 inch water gauge (75 Pa) or an equivalent method approved by the code official and deemed to comply with the provisions of this section when the tested air leakage rate of the building thermal envelope is not greater than 0.40 cfm/ft²(2.0 L/s ⦁ m²). Where compliance is based on such testing, the building shall also comply with Sections C402.5.5, C402.5.6 and C402.5.7. During testing: 1.
