Commercial Apartment Air Barrier Testing Published in  TAB Journal Summer 2017  and written by Denny Whitzel, TBE, CxA Pacific Coast Air Balancing.  View the original article here.

As required by Washington State Code, all commercial multi-unit residential structures are required to have air barrier testing performed to ensure they meet the state requirements for infiltration levels.
