What Is Blower Door Testing?
- Certified diagnostic testing to measure building efficiency.
- Reduce air leakage and meet energy code compliance.
- Required in many states for new construction and major renovations to comply with energy codes.
- This test identifies air leaks, improves energy performance, and helps qualify for utility rebate programs.
Why Blower Door Testing Matters
Poor airtightness leads to energy loss, inconsistent temperatures, higher utility bills, and code violations. Blower door testing is essential for:
- Meeting local and national energy code requirements
- Verifying insulation and air sealing effectiveness
- Identifying hidden drafts or leaks before final inspections
- Increasing comfort and indoor air quality
- Reducing HVAC system strain and operating costs
