  1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open it in the editor.
  2. Begin by filling out the Client Information section. Enter your name, address, city/state/zip, phone number, and email. This information is crucial for identifying the test requester.
  3. Proceed to System #1. Specify the location of the duct system and select the type of test (Total or to Outside). Fill in the approximate floor area served and record the CFM leakage at 25pa along with the percentage leakage for a single system.
  4. Repeat step 3 for Systems #2, #3, #4, and #5, ensuring all relevant details are accurately captured for each system.
  5. In the Combined Results section, calculate and enter the total conditioned floor area and combined leakage values. Select the appropriate leakage limit based on compliance requirements.
  6. Finally, certify that the test was performed according to applicable standards by signing and dating in the designated areas. Include HERS Rater details as necessary.

A duct leakage test can be performed by either pressurizing or depressurizing the ductwork. Ductwork that is outside the building envelope, such as in an unconditioned attic or crawlspace, should be pressurized so as to not bring in unwanted contaminants such as dust.
For the post-construction test, leakage measurement must be made across the entire system, including the manufacturers air handler enclosure, with all register boots taped or sealed at a test pressure of 0.1 inches w.g. (25 Pa).
Duct leakage testing, or duct blaster testing, is required for new duct systems installed outside the thermal envelope of a home.
Standard: The measured duct leakage must not exceed 0.06 CFM25 x floor area (in square feet) served by the system. Duct testing device. Manometer (a second manometer is helpful, but not required) Tape and paper or duct mask to seal registers.
HVAC ductwork testing is the first step when leaks are blowing a hole in your budget. Up to 30% of conditioned air can be lost through duct leaks. Not only is this a waste of money from the energy used to heat or cool that lost air, but the HVAC system will work harder trying to meet the temperature setpoint.

There are several ways to find duct leakage: Using a duct leakage tester and blower door together (the most common method) Using a flow hood. Using a blower door and pressure pan (for diagnostic purposes only) Using a blower door only (not recommended)
Pressure pan test With the house pressurized (or depressurized) to 50 Pa (-50 Pa) using a blower door, a pressure gauge is attached to the pressure pan by means of a hose. If the pressure difference is near zero, this indicates that the ductwork associated with that particular register is not connected to the outside.
A HERS rater should confirm and document that duct leakage to the outdoors is the greater of 4 cubic feet of air flow per minute at 25 pascals (CFM25) per 100 ft2 of conditioned floor area or 40 CFM25 using a RESNET-approved testing protocol, such as a duct blaster test.
