What is duct leakage test?

A duct leakage test is a procedure used to measure the amount of air that leaks out of the ductwork in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. It helps evaluate the efficiency of the duct system and is typically performed to ensure compliance with building codes and energy efficiency standards.

Who is required to file duct leakage test?

Contractors, builders, or HVAC professionals who install duct systems are typically required to file duct leakage tests to ensure compliance with local building codes and regulations. Homeowners may also need to provide results if they are undergoing energy audits or performance testing.

How to fill out duct leakage test?

To fill out a duct leakage test, you typically need to document the test procedure, including the pressure differential measurements taken, the total duct leakage measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM), the area of the duct system, and any discrepancies or issues found during the test. The results should be recorded on a standardized form or report provided by local authorities or testing organizations.

What is the purpose of duct leakage test?

The purpose of a duct leakage test is to identify any leaks in the duct system that can reduce the efficiency of HVAC systems, increase energy costs, and affect indoor air quality. It helps ensure that systems operate as intended and conform to energy efficiency standards.

What information must be reported on duct leakage test?

The information that must be reported in a duct leakage test includes the date of the test, the location of the duct system tested, the total leakage measured, the method of testing used, any repairs made, and the identification of the person or organization conducting the test. Results should also indicate if the duct system meets specified standards or codes.
