may be heated prior to testing to further emphasize the warm air travelling through the enclosure, or testing can be done when the exterior ambient temperature is low. In the test of the Engineers and Geoscientists BC building, the interior air was relatively warm and preheating was not necessary. As well, a smoke machine was used to demonstrate air leakage through a decommissioned mail slot and at a door threshold. The report issued afterward to Engineers and Geoscientists BC noted that its office has a very airtight building enclosure by current standards. The report is available in the association’s climate-change information portal under Resources for the Building Sector, at egbc.ca/Practice-Resources/Climate/Climate- Change-Information-Portal/Resources-for- Buildings-Sector. Going forward, as the industry begins conducting airtightness testing on new construction projects, there will be added emphasis on airtight designs and construction practices, and a clear feedback loop for the industry on the level of airtight performance of new building stock in the province. j
