What air and water infiltration testing documentation should accompany modern curtain wall façade systems?

2025-12-10
Air and water infiltration documentation is central to façade acceptance because leaks and drafts critically affect building performance. Provide: (a) Air infiltration test reports per ASTM E283 (or EN 12207) showing leakage rate at specified pressures (e.g., L/s·m² at ±75 Pa); (b) Water penetration test results per ASTM E331 (static) and AAMA 501.1 (dynamic/field) showing no water penetration thresholds, pressure cycles, and specimen descriptions; (c) Rain screen and pressure-equalized façade performance data, including drainage path & weep detail drawings; (d) Laboratory test conditions, test specimen sizes, and mounting details to ensure test relevance; (e) Field test protocols and suggested acceptance criteria for site commissioning (blower door, water hose tests) and post-installation remedial steps; (f) Gasket, sealant, and joint design verification including compatibility certificates and adhesion test data to substrate; (g) Long-term maintenance and replacement guidance for seals, including expected lifespan and inspection intervals; (h) Manufacturer-recommended tolerances and detailing to avoid performance loss from improper substrate or tolerances. Include lab accreditation, date of tests, and explicit linkage between tested assembly drawings and proposed project details to satisfy façade consultants and commissioning teams.
