<br />B. Air Barrier Assembly Air Leakage: Not to exceed ASTM E 283.
<br />1.6 SUBMITTALS
<br />A. Product Data: Include manufacturer’s written instructions for evaluating, preparing, and treating substrate;
<br />technical data; and tested physical and performance properties of air barrier.
<br />B. Shop Drawings: Show locations and extent of air barrier. Include details for substrate joints and cracks,
<br />counterflashing strip, penetrations, inside and outside corners, terminations, and tie-ins with adjoining
<br />construction.
<br />1. Include details of interfaces with other materials that form part of air barrier.
<br />2. Include details of mockups.
<br />C. Product Certificates: For air barriers, certifying compatibility of air barrier and accessory materials with
<br />Project materials that connect to or that come in contact with the barrier; signed by product manufacturer.
<br />D. Qualification Data: For Applicator.
<br />E. Product Test Reports: Based on evaluation of comprehensive tests performed by a qualified testing agency, for
<br />air barriers.
<br />1.7 QUALITY ASSURANCE
<br />A. Submit document stating the applicator of the primary air/vapor barrier membranes specified in this section is
<br />qualified by the manufacturer as suitable for the execution of the Work.
<br />B. Applicator Qualifications: A firm experienced in applying air barrier materials similar in material, design, and
<br />extent to those indicated for this Project, whose work has resulted in applications with a record of successful
<br />in-service performance and that is an ABAA-licensed contractor, employs certified and registered
<br />installers, and complies with ABAA’s Quality Assurance Program.
<br />C. Components used shall be sourced from one manufacturer, including sheet membrane, air barrier sealants,
<br />primers, mastics, and adhesives.
<br />D. Single-Source Responsibility:
<br />1. Obtain air barrier materials from a single manufacturer regularly engaged in manufacturing the product.
<br />2. Provide products which comply with all state and local regulations controlling use of volatile organic
<br />compounds (VOCs).
<br />E. Mockups: Before beginning installation of air barrier, build mockups of exterior wall assembly incorporating
<br />backup wall construction, external cladding, window, door frame and sill, insulation, and flashing to
<br />demonstrate surface preparation, crack and joint treatment, and sealing of gaps, terminations, and penetrations
<br />of air barrier membrane.
<br />1. Coordinate construction of mockup to permit inspection by Owner’s testing agency of air barrier before
<br />external insulation and cladding is installed.
<br />2. Include junction with roofing membrane, building corner condition, and foundation wall
<br />intersection.
<br />3. If Architect determines mockups do not comply with requirements, reconstruct mockups and apply air
<br />barrier until mockups are approved.
<br />4. Approved mockups may become part of the completed Work if undisturbed at time of Substantial
<br />Completion.
<br />F. Preinstallation Conference: Conduct conference at Project site.
<br />1. Include installers of other construction connecting to air barrier, including roofing, waterproofing,
<br />architectural precast concrete, masonry, sealants, windows, glazed curtain walls, and door frames.
<br />2. Review air barrier requirements including surface preparation, substrate condition and pretreatment,
<br />minimum substrate curing period, forecasted weather conditions, special details and sheet flashings,
<br />mockups, installation procedures, sequence of installation, testing and inspecting procedures, and
<br />protection and repairs.
