In alignment with the mandatory requirements of C402.5 for Air Leakage within the thermal envelope, Kaizen Energy Consulting is your trusted partner for precise and compliant testing procedures. We ensure that your building's thermal envelope not only meets but excels within the guidelines set forth in Sections C402.5.1 through C402.5.11.

Our Testing Procedures:

Regulatory Compliance Assurance:

Kaizen Energy Consulting guarantees adherence to C402.5 by providing thorough air leakage testing services for your building's thermal envelope. We understand the critical nature of compliance and prioritize accuracy in every step of the process.

1. Comprehensive Testing Methods:

Our testing procedures align with Section C402.5.1.2.3, utilizing recognized standards such as ASTM E779, ANSI/RESNET/ICC 380, or ASTM E1827. We adhere strictly to the specified limit, ensuring that measured air leakage does not exceed 0.40 cfm/ft2 (2.0 L/s · m2) at a pressure differential of 0.3 inch water gauge (75 Pa).

2. Code-Approved Alternatives:

Kaizen Energy Consulting remains flexible and adaptive to evolving methodologies. If necessary, we employ equivalent methods approved by the code official, ensuring that our approach remains innovative yet within the regulatory framework.

3. Weighted Average Test Results:

To further enhance precision, portions of the building are subjected to testing. The measured air leakages from these portions are meticulously area-weighted based on the surface areas of the building envelope in each section. The weighted average test results are then rigorously evaluated to ensure they fall within the prescribed whole building leakage limit.

Why Kaizen Energy Consulting:

• Exceptional Accuracy: Our testing procedures are designed for precision, providing you with reliable and accurate results to meet or exceed regulatory requirements.

• Cutting-Edge Methodologies: We stay at the forefront of industry-approved standards, utilizing the latest methodologies to ensure your building's thermal envelope is thoroughly evaluated.
