As Colorado energy codes become increasingly stricter, new homes and additions are required to have a high level of airtightness, which means that mechanical ventilation systems have become an important way to circulate fresh air throughout the living space. But just because a ventilation system has the capacity to pull a certain amount of air through the home, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is actually doing so. And that is why the ventilation system must be tested.<\/p>\n

According to section R403.6.3 in the IECC 2021<\/a>, “mechanical ventilation systems shall be tested and verified to provide the minimum ventilation flow rates.” This means that for any municipality that has adopted the IECC 2021, and “where required by the code official” an approved<\/em> third party must perform the test on the ventilation systems on newly built homes or additions. At Scott Home Services, we are excited to announce that we have added Mechanical Ventilation Testing to our extensive list of energy services!<\/p>\n

What To Expect during the Mechanical Ventilation Testing<\/h2>\n

Our energy specialists utilize a specialized device, called a flow box. This device is placed over an inlet terminal of a ventilation system, such as a bath fan. Using a manometer, the energy specialist will then read the amount of pressure being generated at the terminal to verify that it meets the IECC 2021 requirements.<\/p>\n

Upon completion of a Mechanical Ventilation Test, we will send you a letter of certification that a 3rd party inspector has verified the system. We will also keep photos on hand for any future verification needed.<\/p>\n
