| SELF-PACED BLOWER DOOR TRAINING
TESTING LARGER BUILDINGS
LEVEL3
Retrotec's online training courses provide attendees with an understanding of proper test techniques for air leakage measurement.
Each level consists of lessons, videos and presentations that are the equivalent to attending days of classroom training.
Level 3: Multi-family, Multi-fan, Large Building Testing
Level 3 will give you a good idea of the real problems that occur in high-rises, why they leak, and where they leak. You will gain a better understanding of the benefits of airtightness, the theory of air barriers and the importance of ventilation in well-designed high rise buildings.
A sampling of the topics covered:
Air barrier and ventilation systems
Envelope durability, safety, and air quality
Case studies of large building leakage tests
Pressure and airflow in air leakage testing
Pretest inspections and preparing the building
Test equipment setup configurations
Handling bias pressures due to wind and stack
Manual and automated test results
Locating and sealing air leaks
USACE (US Army Corps of Engineers) and LEED testing protocols
Questions that will be answered in the comprehensive Level 3 training include:
What components of a building can be measured and what do existing standards require?
What are acceptable air leakage levels and what kind of air leakage levels occur typically in high-rise buildings?
How does measuring air leakage in a high-rise differ from residential testing?
Different buildings require many different test setups which can in some cases become fairly complicated to meet the requirements of various testing standards.
What kind of problems will you run into and how can they be solved?
How do I determine how much equipment is needed for a particular test and what considerations must be made in quoting a test?
Pass the Online exam with 85% or better and receive a certificate with BPI credits.
Training materials were developed primarily by Colin Genge, with assistance from several colleagues and researchers in the industry. Colin has over 30 years experience designing, and building hardware and software for a variety of complex air leakage measurement applications used in large building testing. He has written the NFPA enclosure integrity test procedure currently used in over 60 countries, researched and written peak pressure analysis for clean agent discharges, been involved in tests in large buildings since 1986, written the bulk of the USACE air leakage testing protocol.
