ThermalWise was contracted by MacLeod Group to conduct water penetration testing at the long-term care facility building located in Mahone Bay, NS. 

Testing, conducted in general accordance with ASTM E-1105, was performed on December 16, 2022, on three PVC frame punched windows. 

MacLean Construction contracted ThermalWise to conduct whole building air tightness testing of the new addition to the West Royalty School located in Charlottetown, PEI.

ThermalWise conducted whole building air tightness testing at the Highland Village Redevelopment Project in Iona, Nova Scotia.  The purpose of the testing was to determine the whole building air tightness at the post-drywall stage of construction.

Testing, conducted in general accordance with ASTM E-1105, was performed on one Anotec 3400 aluminum frame curtain wall test specimen, and one Antamex aluminum frame curtain wall test specimen. 

ThermalWise completed air tightness testing and air leakage site detection using thermographic imaging at two stages of construction. The first stage was conducted once all building envelope components were installed. The second stage was performed after all building components were in place and construction completed.

 General Air Tightness Testing Procedure (based on subsection 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 of section 07 27 00): the mean value of the air leakage flow through the exterior envelope for a negative and positive pressurization air leakage test must not exceed 0.25 CFM/ft2 @75Pa. Air leakage testing is required to be performed in general accordance with ASTM E779 with additional requirements included in the construction specification. 

 Building Air Leakage Site Detection: thermography-based air leakage site detection took place in conjunction with the air leakage testing for both Stage 1 and Stage 2 testing. This testing was performed in general accordance with ASTM 1186.
