Many multi-family development projects that are tied to tax credits must meet strict energy efficiency standards.   We have worked on several projects that had to score below HERS 50 and we are currently working on one that will be HERS 0.
In April of 2014, we performed ACOE testing including air barrier tests on 4 military buildings in Indianapolis, IN.  The largest building had a building envelope area well over 100,000 s.f.  The buildings were amazingly tight as we are seeing a vast improvement in air barrier details and construction monitoring.
