NORTH MIDDLE SCHOOL MODERNIZATION <br />Everett Public Schools <br />014100 <br />AIR BARRIER SYSTEM <br />rU%.I 11LCl.tUI C 14 1-I000/ r'd CU/ -� <br />g. Surfaces are properly primed. <br />h. Laps in material are 2"minimum, shingled in the correct <br />direction (or mastic applied on exposed edges), with no fish - <br />mouths. <br />i. Mastic applied on cut edges. <br />j. Roller has been used to enhance adhesion. <br />k. Measure application thickness of liquid -applied materials to <br />manufacturer's specifications for the specific substrate. <br />I. Materials used for compatibility. <br />M. Transitions at changes in direction, and structural support at <br />gaps. <br />n. Connections between assemblies (membrane and sealants) for <br />cleaning, preparation and priming of surfaces, structural <br />support, integrity and continuity of seal. <br />o. All penetrations sealed. <br />p. ASTM E 1186 "Standard Practices for Air Leakage Site Detection <br />in Building Envelopes and Air Retarder Systems." <br />1) Infrared scanning with pressurization/depressurization. <br />2) Smoke pencil with pressurization/depressurization. <br />3) Pressurization/depressurization with use of <br />anemometer <br />4) Generated sound with sound detection <br />S) Tracer gas measurement of decay rate <br />6) Chamber pressurization/depressurization in <br />conjunction with smoke tracers <br />7) Chamber depressurization using detection liquids <br />2. Quantitative tests: <br />a. The Owner will hire and the City will require as a prerequisite <br />for Occupancy demonstration of compliance with the whole <br />building air barrier testing. Contractor shall allot time in their <br />schedule and coordinate with Owner's testing agency. The <br />Contractor should assume that some plastic visqueen <br />temporary separation barriers will be required within the <br />building to accommodate the whole building test. <br />b. Provide written test reports of all tests performed, with copies <br />to the Owner, Contractor and Architect. <br />C. Material compliance for maximum air permeance, ASTM E <br />2178. <br />
