Report number N950-3-670 4 TEST RIG GENERAL ARRANGEMENT The test sample was mounted on a rigid test rig with support steelwork designed to simulate the on-site/project conditions. The test rig comprised a well sealed chamber, fabricated from steel and plywood. A door was provided to allow access to the chamber. Representatives of installed the sample on the test rig. See Figure.

Report number N950-3-670 5 TEST SEQUENCE The test sequence was as follows: () Air permeability (2) Watertightness static (3) Wind resistance serviceability (4) Air permeability (5) Watertightness static (6) Watertightness dynamic (7) Watertightness hose (8) Wind resistance safety (9) Impact resistance Page 4 of 35

Report number N950-3-670 6 AIR PERMEABILITY TESTING 6. 6.. INSTRUMENTATION Pressure One static pressure tapping was provided to measure the chamber pressure and was located so that the readings were unaffected by the velocity of the air supply into or out of the chamber. A pressure transducer, capable of measuring rapid changes in pressure to within 2% was used to measure the differential pressure across the sample. 6..2 Air Flow A laminar flow element mounted in the air system ductwork was used with a pressure transducer to measure the air flow into the chamber. This device was capable of measuring airflow through the sample to within 2%. 6..3 Temperature Platinum resistance thermometers (PRT) were used to measure air temperatures to within C. 6..4 General Electronic instrument measurements were scanned by a computer controlled data logger, which also processed and stored the results. All measuring instruments and relevant test equipment were calibrated and traceable to national standards. 6.2 FAN The air supply system comprised a variable speed centrifugal fan and associated ducting and control valves to create positive and negative static pressure differentials. The fan provided essentially constant air flow at the fixed pressure for the period required by the tests and was capable of pressurising at a rate of approximately 600 pascals in one second. 6.3 PROCEDURE Three positive pressure pulses of 200 pascals were applied to prepare the test sample. The opening vent was then opened and locked closed five times. The average air permeability was determined by measuring the rate of air flow through the chamber whilst subjecting the sample to positive pressure differentials of 50, 00, 50, 200, 300, 450 and 600 pascals. Each pressure increment was held for at least 0 seconds. Extraneous leakage through the test chamber and the joints between the chamber and the test sample was determined by sealing the sample with adhesive tape (polythene sheet as mentioned in CWCT clause 5.0.3. was not used on this occasion) and measuring the air flow at the pressures given above. The test was then repeated with only the opening vent section sealed and then with the complete sample unsealed; the difference between the readings being the rate of air flow through the vent and whole sample respectively. The test was then repeated using negative pressure differentials. Page 5 of 35

Report number N950-3-670 6.4 PASS/FAIL CRITERIA The permissible air infiltration flow rate, Qo, at peak test pressure, po, could not exceed:.5 m3 per hour per m2 for fixed panels, and 2.0 m3 per hour per m length of joint between the fixed frame and the frame enclosing the opening light when viewed from inside for opening lights. At intermediate pressures, pn, flow rates, Qn, were calculated using Qn = Qo(pn/po)2/3 Air exfiltration readings were also taken, with permissible values measured at ±00 pascals. The area of the fixed sample was 56.3 m2. Length of openable joints was 4.6 m. 6.5 RESULTS TABLE 3 Pressure Measured air infiltration through sample Test 9 July 203 differential (pascals) Fixed glazing (m3/hour/m2) Opening vent (m3/hour/m) 50 4 00 2 4 50 4 0.3 200 4 0.7 300 3 0.7 450 7 0.33 600 7 0.20 Temperatures Ambient = 5 C Chamber = 7 C The results are shown graphically in Figures 2 and 3.

Report number N950-3-670 7 WATERTIGHTNESS TESTING 7. 7.. INSTRUMENTATION Pressure One static pressure tapping was provided to measure the chamber pressure and was located so that the readings were unaffected by the velocity of the air supply into or out of the chamber. A pressure transducer, capable of measuring rapid changes in pressure to within 2% was used to measure the differential pressure across the sample. 7..2 Water Flow An in-line water flow meter was used to measure water supplied to the spray gantry to within 5%. 7..3 Temperature Platinum resistance thermometers (PRT) were used to measure air and water temperatures to within C. 7..4 General Electronic instrument measurements were scanned by a computer controlled data logger, which also processed and stored the results. All measuring instruments and relevant test equipment were calibrated and traceable to national standards. 7.2 7.2. FAN Static Pressure Testing The air supply system comprised a variable speed centrifugal fan and associated ducting and control valves to create positive and negative static pressure differentials. The fan provided essentially constant air flow at the fixed pressure for the period required by the tests and was capable of pressurising at a rate of approximately 600 pascals in one second. 7.2.2 Dynamic Pressure Testing A wind generator was mounted adjacent to the external face of the sample and used to create positive pressure differentials during dynamic testing. The wind generator comprised a piston type aero-engine fitted with 4 m diameter contra-rotating propellers. 7.3 7.3. WATER SPRAY Spray Gantry The water spray system comprised nozzles spaced on a uniform grid not more than 700 mm apart and mounted approximately 400 mm from the face of the sample. The nozzles provided a full-cone pattern with a spray angle between 90 and 20. The spray system delivered water uniformly against the exterior surface of the sample. Page 20 of 35

Report number N950-3-670 7.3.2 Hose test The water was applied using a brass nozzle that produced a full-cone of water droplets with a nominal spray angle of 30. The nozzle was used with a ¾" hose and provided with a control valve and a pressure gauge between the valve and nozzle. PHOTO 0930 DYNAMIC WIND GENERATOR 7.4 7.4. PROCEDURE Watertightness static Three positive pressure pulses of 200 pascals were applied to prepare the test sample. The opening vent was then opened and locked closed five times. Water was sprayed onto the sample using the method described above at a rate of at least 3.4 litres/m2/minute for 5 minutes at zero pressure differential. With the water spray continuing the pressure differential across the sample was then increased in increments of: 50, 00, 50, 200, 300, 450 and 600 pascals, each held for 5 minutes. Throughout the test the interior face of the sample was examined for water penetration. Page 2 of 35

Report number N950-3-670 7.4.2 Watertightness dynamic Water was sprayed onto the sample using the method described above at a flow rate of at least 3.4 litres/m2/minute. The aero-engine was used to subject the sample to wind of sufficient velocity to produce average deflections in the principle framing members equal to those produced by a static pressure differential of 600 pascals. These conditions were maintained for 5 minutes. Throughout the test the inside of the sample was examined for water penetration. 7.4.3 Watertightness hose Working from the exterior, the selected area was wetted progressing from the lowest horizontal joint, then the intersecting vertical joints, then the next horizontal joint above, etc. The water was directed at the joint and perpendicular to the face of the sample. The nozzle was moved slowly back and forth above the joint at a distance of 0.3 metres from it for a period of 5 minutes for each.5 metres of joint. Shorter or slightly longer joints were tested pro rata. The water flow to the nozzle was adjusted to produce 22, 2 litres per minute when the water pressure at the nozzle inlet was 220, 20 kpa. Throughout the test the interior face of the sample was examined for water penetration. The joints tested are shown in Figure 6. 7.5 PASS/FAIL CRITERIA There shall be no water penetration to the internal face of the sample throughout testing. At the completion of the test there shall be no standing water in locations intended to remain dry. Page 22 of 35

Report number N950-3-670 8 WIND RESISTANCE TESTING 8. 8.. INSTRUMENTATION Pressure One static pressure tapping was provided to measure the chamber pressure and was located so that the readings were unaffected by the velocity of the air supply into or out of the chamber. A pressure transducer, capable of measuring rapid changes in pressure to within 2% was used to measure the differential pressure across the sample. 8..2 Deflection Displacement transducers were used to measure the deflection of principle framing members to an accuracy of 0. mm. The gauges were set normal to the sample framework at midspan and as near to the supports of the members as possible and installed in such a way that the measurements were not influenced by the application of pressure or other loading to the sample. The gauges were located at the positions shown in Figure 7. 8..3 Temperature Platinum resistance thermometers (PRT) were used to measure air temperatures to within C. 8..4 General Electronic instrument measurements were scanned by a computer controlled data logger, which also processed and stored the results. All measuring instruments and relevant test equipment were calibrated and traceable to national standards. 8.2 FAN The air supply system comprised a variable speed centrifugal fan and associated ducting and control valves to create positive and negative static pressure differentials. The fan provided essentially constant air flow at the fixed pressure for the period required by the tests and was capable of pressurising at a rate of approximately 600 pascals in one second. 8.3 8.3. PROCEDURE Wind Resistance serviceability Three positive pressure differential pulses of 200 pascals were applied to prepare the sample. The displacement transducers were then zeroed. The sample was subjected to one positive pressure differential pulse from 0 to 2400 pascals to 0. The pressure was increased in four equal increments each maintained for 5 ±5 seconds. Displacement readings were taken at each increment. Residual deformations were measured on the pressure returning to zero. Any damage or functional defects were recorded. Operable components were opened and closed five times and any change in ease of operation noted. The test was then repeated using a negative pressure of -2400 pascals. Page 25 of 35

Report number N950-3-670 8.3.2 Wind Resistance safety Three positive pressure differential pulses of 200 pascals were applied to prepare the sample. The displacement transducers were then zeroed. The sample was subjected to one positive pressure differential pulse from 0 to 3600 pascals to 0. The pressure was increased as rapidly as possible but not in less than second and maintained for 5 ±5 seconds. Displacement readings were taken at peak pressure. Residual deformations were measured on the pressure returning to zero. Any damage or functional defects were recorded. The test was then repeated using a negative pressure of 3600 pascals.
