Inquiry

Energy Star for Homes performance includes a requirement that duct leakage cannot exceed 6 CFM to the outdoors. If a multi-family project has ducts running through interstitial spaces (e.g. between floors), is there any technique for isolating leakage to the outdoors? How should this be handled if the total leakage exceeds 6 CFM, but it\'s impossible to isolate the leakage to the outdoors?
