Building Envelope Engineering
GENERAL NOTES
I. Introduction
B.E.E. Consulting, LLC (BEE) shall create building envelope concept design details for the
Edmonds Center Townhouses. The building envelope detail drawings are intimately related
to the materials specified in the project material specifications and building inspection.
Details provided by BEE are only for use on Edmonds Center Townhouses and are
copyrighted
II. General
A. Water Penetration Resistance Field Testing
At least one (1) window of each operational type will be tested to the Specified Field Test
Pressure, that is specified below in accordance with the current version of ASTM E 1105. For
residential windows and doors such as aluminum, wood clad aluminum, vinyl, or fiberglass
windows and doors, Procedure B (cyclic) test will be used for 4 cycles each 5 minutes in
duration, with a pressure reduced to 0 psf for one minute between cycles. For storefront
and curtain wall assemblies, Procedure A (Uniform) test will be used for a single cycle not
less than 20 minutes in duration. The initial test will be inclusive of both installation
interface and window product. In the case of failure (defined in ASTM 1105), the
representative sample will be expanded to five (5) specimens in order to obtain statistical
confidence in remedial repairs if needed. In the case of failure, the responsible party will be
held financially liable for the cost of retesting, and any related wall assembly or cladding
deconstruction needed to obtain passing results. This test specification supersedes AAMA
Voluntary Specification for Field Testing. The test reports will be reviewed and approved by
a registered Professional Building Envelope Engineer.
Regardless of AAMA deductions for field installed product, the minimum Water Resistance
Field Test Pressure (during field test), as determined by the consultant, shall be:
4.5 psf for sliding doors
4.5 psf for skylights
4.5 psf for swing doors
4.5 psf for windows
The above referenced test pressures should be placed on the purchase order prior to
ordering the windows or doors.
Doors are to be installed and tested in a similar fashion as windows.
B. Deck Venting Performance Requirements
All decks shall be vented in accordance with code.

C. Sealant Performance Requirements
All sealants shall be validated and approved by the Sealant Waterproofing and Restoration
Institute (SWRI).
Sealant and Self Adhesive Membrane (S.A.M.) combinations shall be sent to sealant
manufacturer for adhesion certification prior to construction.
D. Air Barrier Penetrations
All penetrations through the air barrier that lead into vented space need to be sealed with
spray foam or appropriate sealant.
If the roof is vented, all penetrations at ceiling need to be sealed with spray foam and/or
sealant and all joints need to be taped. If light fixture is used, the light can required to be
airtight to ASTM E2357 where penetrations occur.
Submit light can fixture to BEE project engineer for approval.
E. Laboratory Test Reports
All windows and doors should be pre -tested by the manufacturer to design conditions.
The associated test records shall be submitted to BEE.
F. Field Testing
For all windows, doors, and skylights a mock setup will be water intrusion tested in field to
given parameters. Mock setup may be created in situ or be free standing as determined by
BEE project engineer. All mock ups must pass Water Resistance Field Test Pressures. A copy
of window, door and skylight test reports will be submitted to BEE.
All sealant dependent installations require adhesion test performed on site by contractor.
Adhesion test logs shall be submitted to BEE for review.
G. Contractor Responsibility
It shall be the specific duty and responsibility of each trade and supplier to examine all
project drawings, details and specifications, and to provide and furnish proper equipment,
hardware, fixtures, materials, etc., pertaining to their part of the work shown or listed in
any part of these documents. Quality control, adverse material reactions, and compliance to
industry standard workmanship are the responsibility of the contractor. Schedules are for
the convenience of the contractor to assist them in understanding and constructing the
project.
Any omissions or contradictions in these documents shall be called to the attention of BEE
prior to submitting a bid. Bids received shall be considered to include all items shown
and/or specified or scheduled for a complete project. The contractor shall note that the
