Target Inspections offers independent third party Duct Leakage testing (also called duct blast testing) and Blower Door testing to meet all applicable codes and standards including the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code.
The MA Stretch Energy Code 780 CMR 115.AA Appendix 120 AA, Section 401.3 now requires the same limits as the rest of the MA towns that are not Stretch Code.
Duct Air Leakage Testing is also required in towns that have not adopted the Stretch Energy Code and are following 2015 IECC (International Energy Conservation Code) requirements. Current Stretch Code towns are required to meet the 2015 IECC code requirements as well.
Leakage to the Outside is no longer an option in 2015 IECC
Option 1 - At any point, air handler and ducts installed – Total Duct Leakage – Max leakage 4 cfm per 100 sq ft.
Option 2 – At rough-in, air handler not installed – Duct Blast Test Ducts Only – Max leakage 3 cfm per 100 sq ft.
All penetrations to the outside must be competed.
Maximum Air Changes per Hour (ACH) is 3. The test must be competed 5 times and the results are averaged together per IECC 2015.
