The testing equipment consists of multiple calibrated fans that are sealed into elected building apertures. The fans create a continuous flaw of pressure into the building (or Outof the uni when using ‘smoke vapor to locate leas). GBSI uses a proprietary (Retrtec} computing devic: with a bull in miro= ‘anemometer and specialized software to detect the rate of pressure retention ard loss due to possible airleaks inthe construction. The test method described herein sas per Section 50.05 ofthe DUBA ‘GREEN BUILDING REGULATIONS & SPECIFICATIONS -2010 as we the elevant econ of The OMAISofat {Green Building Rating System which specifies international standard testing protocols CIBSE TM23— Testing Buildings for Ar Leakage and 8S EN 13829:2001 Thermal performance of buildings ~ Determination of ar permeability of bullaings~ Fan pressurization method). The tated allowable ait permeability rae isnot to exceed 10 m3/ hr/m2 @S0Pa, 20. TESTING PROCEDURE 2.1 Bulging components: Close all intentional exterior openings ofthe building or part ofthe bulling tobe tested (windows, ‘doors, and reguar). “Al adjustable openings shall be closed an remaining intentional openings shall be sale. The entire building or part ofthe buldng tobe tested shall be configured to respond to pressurization asa single zone. -Allinterconnecting door in part of the bullding tobe teste shall be opened so tata uniform pressure |smaintaned within a range of ess than 10 % of the measured insideouside presureeiference.

Al interconnecting doors shall be opened so that a uniform pressure ls maintained within range of less than 10% ofthe measured inside/outside prescure difference 2.2 Testing conditions of building: ‘uring a test, internal doors of the conditioned space should be wedged open t's normal practice for the boller room, switch rooms and lif rooms to be considered outside the buliding external ‘envelope. External doors and ther purpose made openings in the building envelope should be closed, Mechanical ventilation systems (Both the Base Bullding and Future Tenent Systems) should be turned of, with the inlet and outlet grilles sealed. Fire dampers and ventilatien lowers should be closed. Drainage trans must contan water Or be temporally sealed 23 Allexternal envelope elements of the building shall be assessed for leakage, Elements included in the bulging envelope such as: roofing sytem (eg roof sheeting), waling system fe. curtain wallng, wall panels, block work and service penetrations and vapour bares) wil be tested agnnet he equired = Soa Rar ers Development land Dub UAE Aveo. iso gran : Meta sstoment fo: one 22102018 ds | fig tvtope a hres esting test fn Ural dl cus | Sar Sicn Stang Kegon Spectcatone— ete eG OUTOG BeBion Sos: A ante performance standard, Any intentional opening inthe building envelope shall be lose or sealed General observations of the condition af the ullding wil be recorded including nates onthe windows, doors, opaque wal, roof and floor, postion of adjustable openings and any temporary sealing applied telintentional openings. 2.4 Unfinished Future Tenant Spaces. Retall and FB spaces that are tobe completed by the tenant after ‘the main building handover wil typically not be aright a the time ofthe building ar ghtness tes. This Is primarily due to the standard contractual condition for leased sub spaces within a larger building which requie: ~ Main ar conditioned ar distribution is supplied to the bulding commor spaces ofthe ‘etal and F&B tenant complexes ony; A/C equipment and distribution witin the spaces sto be completed by the tenant aftr building handover. Thus unfinished tenant spaces wil leak li at the time ofthe whole building testing and will ned to be temporary sealed ‘Many final finishing materials tobe supplied and Installed bythe tenant ster building hand ‘over, Uninsalled finishes suchas flooring and entrance framing or vestibule typically wl affect the artightnes of the tenant space atthe time of whole bulding testing. for example, service and entrance doors wll be undercut higher to allo forthe ial finished for level ‘The proper procedures fr the preparation of unfinished spaces is outined in ATTMA Technical Standard 2 "Measuring air Permeability of Buléing Envelopes (Non —Dwellings!” and CIBSE Technical Manual 23 “Testing Buildings for Air Leokage" Unfinished oF uninstalled ems such as final doors and open afe vents are to be iemperarly sealed for the whole building test. In bref, once areae that requis ‘temporary sealing ae identified, G3S| would require AFC to carey out the temperary sealing under the {GBSIs supervision. Testing and certification ofthe adequacy ofthe temporary sealing shall be the fll responsibilty 0 GBS as the independent testing authority 2.5 Connect the air moving equipment tothe building envelope using a window, coor, or vent opening. Ensure thatthe oits between the equipment and the building are sealed to eliminate any leakage. 2. Pressure measuring devices The indoor/outdoor pressure difference shal be measured atthe lowest floor level ofthe buléing envelope under consideration, Ensure that Interlr and exterior Dressure drops are not influenced by the ar moving equipment. The exterior pressure tap should be protected from the effects of dynamic pressure. n windy conditions iis good practice to place the tentrior pressure tap some aetance aay fram the bulidng but not close to other obstacles.
