ThermalWise performed whole-building air leakage testing for the Morell 10 Unit Building located in Morell, PE. 

The building was tested to confirm conformance with the project specifications. Testing was performed in general conformance with ASTM E3158 using the multi-point procedure. ASTM E3158 is the more recent whole building air leakage testing standard that has largely replaced ASTM E779 for testing of whole buildings. It is the standard that is referenced in the 2020 National Energy Code for Buildings. The building was prepared in such a manner to test the building envelope per the standard.

The building was tested to determine the building’s envelope air leakage performance. Testing was performed in general conformance with ASTM E-3158 using the multi-point procedure. The building was prepared in such a manner to test the building envelope per the standard.

In September of 2019, ThermalWise conducted field quality assurance water penetration testing for an installed window at The Shorefront, located in Stratford, PEI. 

The water tightness performance requirement for the test specimen is 470 Pa in accordance with the direction from Troy Livingstone of Sable Arch. The purpose of the testing was to verify that the field performance was meeting project performance expectations.

ThermalWise conducted field quality assurance water penetration of installed curtain wall and window-wall specimens at the Halifax YMCA, in Halifax, NS. The water tightness performance specifications are 575 Pa for curtain wall test specimen and 500 Pa for the window-wall test specimen, in accordance with the project specifications. The purpose of the testing was to verify test specimens’ installed field performance against project performance expectations.

ThermalWise was contracted by Efficiency Nova Scotia to conduct air leakage testing at 65 King Street in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.  The purpose of the testing was to quantify air leakage of the existing building envelope to better determine pre-retrofit energy use associated with air leakage. ThermalWise completed semi-guarded air testing on a typical unit in the residential tower to determine the air leakage through the most typical exterior wall type. 

In May 2022, ThermalWise, at the request of Killam Apartment REIT, performed compartmentalization air leakage testing on a sampling of dwelling units in the Quinpool Tower building located in Halifax, NS.  

ThermalWise was contracted by Contract Glaziers Inc., to conduct water penetration testing of the CW-05 curtain wall specimen installed at the Richmond Yards building located at 6070 Almon Street, Halifax Nova Scotia. Testing, conducted in general accordance with ASTM E-1105, was performed in April 2022, on a CW-05 curtain wall test specimen.

Botsford in a mixed-use project is located in downtown Moncton, NB. The project is pursuing LEED certification and will be Moncton's first residential LEED project. It will also be Atlantic Canada's first mixed-use LEED-certified building.

Q Lofts is Atlantic Canada's most energy efficient and greenest multi-unit development. A 72-unit condo development of Polycorp, Q Lofts is located in Halifax, NS. The building is constructed with R-30 insulated concrete form walls and triple-glazed windows. ThermalWise was retained by Polycorp to deliver LEED Provider services and a number of building performance testing and verification services.
