Maximum duct leakage:
Post Construction, total duct leakage: (floor area x .08) = CFM@25 Pa
Post Construction, leakage to outdoors: (floor area x .06) = CFM@25 Pa

Washington State Energy Code reference: .
503.10.3 Sealing. All ducts. air handlers, filter boxes, and building cavities used as ducts shall be sealed. Joints and seams shall comply
with Section M1601.3 of the International Residential Code or 603.9 of the International Mechanical Code. Duct tightness testing shall be
conducted to verify that the duds are sealed. A signed affidavit documenting the test results shall be provided to the jurisdiction having
authority by the testing agent. When required by the building official. the test shall be conducted in the presence of department staff.
Exceptions: 1. Duct tightness test is not required if the air handler and all ducts are located within conditioned space.
2. Duct testing is not required if the fumace is a nondired vent type combustion appliance installed in an unconditioned space.
A maximum of six feet of connected ductwork in the unconditioned space is allowed. All additional supply and return duds
shall be within the conditioned space. Ducts outside the conditioned space shall be sealed with a mastic type dud sealant and
insulated on the exterior with R-8 insulation for above grade ducts and R-6 water resistant insulation when within a slab or
earth. -

Glossary
Rough -In: After installation of the complete air distribution system but before installation of insulation and
sheet rock. Allows for access to all duct seams and connections for re-evaluation of seal integrity if standard
is not met in intitial test.
Post Construction: At or near final inspection. The home must be complete enough to pressurize the home
to 25 pa.
Total Leakage: Aggregation of the entire systems duct leakage in a duct test.
Leakage to Exterior: Aggregation of all duct system Teaks to the exterior of the CFA in a duct test.
CFA: Conditioned floor area
CFM25: Cubic feet per minute of air leakage at 25 pascals of pressure
CFM50: Cubic feet per minute of air leakage at 50 pascals of pressure
Pascal (pa)- Unit of pressure
SLA: Specific leakage area
