Blower Door Testing

Technically referred to as infiltration testing, blower door testing measures how "tight" or "leaky" a building enclosure is. We use a large, calibrated fan to depressurize a building enclosure to a known pressure and measure the rate of air leakage.

Duct Testing

Duct Leakage Testing is exactly as its name implies. We measure how well sealed a duct system is by covering all termination points and pressurizing the duct system to a known pressure and measure the rate of air leakage from the system.

Energy Code Consulting

Codes are always changing. We know it can be difficult to stay up to date with all of the requirements. Whether you are in the planning stages of a new project or getting ready for your final inspection and need help achieving the requirements of the energy code, we can help.
