Description

All high rise buildings suffer from one or more of the following problems:

- air quality complaints - cigarette and cooking odors
- higher energy bills than anticipated
- excessive mechanical system maintenance
- vehicle exhaust fumes coming up from garages
- powerful drafts in cold weather
- moisture problems; condensation, mold, unhealthy humidity levels

We will present testing results on several high rise buildings that have undergone compartment by compartment air leakage tests that would have identified these problems. LEED only touches on the issue; there is much more that must be done to modernize our high rise buildings. We will show how problems can be fixed easily prior to occupancy by proper commissioning and how to designs can be improved to avoid problems in the first place.

Occupied multi-family buildings are difficult to test because you may only be able to access small portions of the building at one time. See how much can be learned with just one gauge to locate pressure imbalances. Then, using only two blower doors, learn how to locate and measure air leakage paths between units and common areas.

Learning objectives
#1 Locate leakage paths in multi-family individual units
#2 Automatically Test multi-family units with limited access.
#3 Novel ways of testing parts of multi-family and large buildings.
#4 Understanding test results from software.
#5 Confirm Quality Control and test results remotely.

About the Presenter
Colin Genge is CEO of Retrotec, a Washington State based company that has been designing, selling and training users of blower door-fans, precision pressure gauges and analytical software since 1980. Colin has done considerable research on testing methods for high rise buildings and has consulted and tested hundreds of high value facilities, including the Space Shuttle launch pad, military installations and the world's most sophisticated computer rooms.
