Seal punctures, and seams. Patch with membrane strips extending 6 inches (150 mm) beyond repaired areas. Connect and seal exterior wall air-barrier membrane continuously to subsequently installed roofing-membrane air-barrier, concrete below-grade structures, floor-to-floor construction, exterior glazing and window systems, glazed curtain-wall systems, storefront systems, exterior louvers, exterior door framing, and other construction used in exterior wall openings, using accessory materials. Wall Openings Transition Assembly Installation: Apply opening transition assembly so that a minimum of 3 inches (75 mm) of coverage is achieved over factory fluid-applied air and water barrier panels. Rough Openings: Treat rough openings with sealant or accessory products according to manufacturer installation instructions. Flashings: Seal top of through-wall flashings to factory air barrier air and water barrier panels with continuous transition strips of type recommended by sheet air barrier manufacturer for type of flashing. FIELD QUALITY CONTROL Testing Agency: Owner may engage a qualified testing agency to perform tests and inspections. Inspections: Air-barrier materials, accessories, and installation are subject to inspection for compliance with requirements and photo documentation of conditions to be concealed by subsequent Work. As determined by Owner's testing agency from among the following tests: Qualitative Air-Leakage Testing: Test air-barrier assemblies for evidence of air leakage according to ASTM E 1186, pencil with pressurization or depressurization or ASTM E 1186, chamber pressurization or depressurization with smoke tracers. Quantitative Air-Leakage Testing: Test air-barrier assemblies for air leakage according to ASTM E 783. Testing: Refer to Section [019113 Commissioning Requirements”] “General [019119.43 for additional testing and inspection Enclosure Commissioning"] “Exterior requirements. Factory fluid-applied air and water barrier panels will be considered defective if they do not pass tests and inspections. Prepare test and inspection reports.
