What is the difference between 100% testing & sampling?
The building codes state that the building owner or the agent of the building owner, has the option to have the 3rd party verification performed on their house/building (100% testing), or they can choose to be part of a sample, in which the installing contractor makes groups of no more than 7 jobs in which duct sealing was required, the HERS rater selects 1 job at random, and tests its. Should it pass the first test attempt, every other house in the sample group will pass. Should it fail the first test, a second test must be administered to another random job within the sample group. Should the second house pass the first attempt, the first house will be revisited, re-tested till pass. Should the second job fail the first attempt, the entire sample group must receive 100% testing.
