What are the benefits of an air barrier system test? - ANSWER ✓ It can verify
code performance requirements and it can identify air leakage locations.
Why are test methods from other industries not used for testing air barriers? -
ANSWER ✓ Test methods from other industries required modifications for air
barrier materials, so test methods specifically for air barriers eliminates the need to
modify those test methods.
List an example of an international standard. - ANSWER ✓ ISO
List examples of regional standards. - ANSWER ✓ -ANSI
-ASTM
-ASHRAE
List examples of industry standards. - ANSWER ✓ -ABAA
-RESNET
What steps are typically used to develop standards? - ANSWER ✓ A proposal is
ran through differing levels of committees and then voted upon
What is an SDO? - ANSWER ✓ Standards Development Organization
Why would an industry become an SDO? - ANSWER ✓ If little to no documents
are available to reference as a standard, then it makes sense that an industry would

barrier contractor must provide what the contract documents require. No "I didn't
include that part".
List three requirements for a substrate. - ANSWER ✓ -Clean
-Sound
-Dry
Why are some materials considered site-manufactured? - ANSWER ✓ Since an
installer and equipment can directly affect the application, fluid-applied materials
are considered "site-manufactured".
Why are connections important in an air barrier system? - ANSWER ✓ If
connections are not installed properly between two materials, this could present
unwanted air leakage.
List 2 key construction documents that impact the work of the air barrier
contractor. - ANSWER ✓ -Construction Documents
-Project Specifications
