Retrotec was pleased to participate in the 2017 CTK Missions Golf Tournament! This year, CTK successfully raised approximately $8,500 for the Garden of Eden Children’s Home in Nairobi, Kenya. A special “thank you” to CTK …we were proud to support your cause!
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. During the construction process special procedures, materials and methods are utilized to ensure the airtight integrity of the inside and outside of the building are maintained. Yet even when the previous three are followed diligently, achieving acceptable results can still be very challenging. This study hopes to bring to light a number of conditions, some “inherent” and some “created”, that when recognized can make the difference in testing multi-story wood-built structures to meet state requirements.
