PHOTO REQUIRED of Infiltration Test Results OR REPORT from Testing Software per ANSI/RESNET/ICC 301 APPENDIX B and HERS® Standards Chapter 9. Raters/RFIs are responsible for documenting reasons for missing photos. Infiltration (Envelope Leakage) is tested according to ANSI/RESNET/ICC 380. The Rater/RFI should include sufficient documentation to support the leakage rate modeled. Ensure that test results are correctly applied and modeled based off testing method used (single point vs multi-point).
- Examples include blower door manufacturer’s automated software report (TECTITE, FanTestic, TEC Auto Test app, etc.) and/or photo documentation.
SCORING:

"Unsatisfactory": When one or more errors below occur
"Missing Photo": When one or more mandatory photos are not taken by Rater/RFI
"Unsatisfactory + Missing Photo": When one or more errors below occur and all mandatory photos are not taken by Rater/RFI
GUIDANCE: CFM50: At least one photo provided from Rater/RFI which shows test results OR Report from Testing Software.
