Work Observed • Air Barrier Installation • Curtain Wall Testing Observations • Part A, North Elevation, Grid Line K - Elbex HS-222 silicone transition sheet was damaged during installation of metal at the edge of the Rieder Öko Skin high performance cementitious wall panels. Patches set in sealant were being installed to create a continuous barrier around the curtain walls. (Figures 1, 2) Curtain Wall Testing • Part D, West Elevation, Grid Lines D2, C-B.4, C29 Curtain Wall at Exit 39 - Testing was conducted by UTS to check for air and water leakage. The water penetration resistance testing was performed in accordance with ASTM E 1105: “Test Method for Field Determination of Water Penetrations of Installed Exterior Windows, Skylights, Doors, and Curtain Walls, By Uniform or Cyclical Static Air Pressure Difference”. The curtain wall was first tested for air leakage and then water leakage. A total of two tests were conducted on the curtain wall unit. Air testing was conducted at 6.24 psf and water testing was conducted at 6.24 psf. The unit passed air and water testing.
