Building Science: 7 Tips for Blower Door and Duct Leakage Testing
Certified energy auditors all spend training time learning how to test energy performance using specialized equipment. But translating that time-constrained training to real-world testing conditions can be a challenge.
"Many newly trained pressure testers, however, are out there doing it on their own," writes Allison Bailes of Energy Vanguard. "As a result, they can miss out on some of the techniques that experienced and proficient blower door and duct leakage testers use."
In this blog, Bailes offers 7 lessons he has learned from a dozen years of experience performing blower door and duct leakage tests.
