Air leakage occurs when air comes through cracks, gaps, or holes in the building envelope or air barrier. Air leakage can increase heating and cooling costs by over 30% and directly contribute to health, safety, and comfortability issues. Air leakage can increase the humidity of the building, trap moisture in the air barrier, and allow contaminants to enter the conditioned space. If not remedied quickly, trapped moisture can lead to dangerous rot and mold in the buildings infrastructure which decreases its durability and can lead to expensive repairs and possible health issues down the road.

During the Blower Door Test the house will be depressurized to 50 pascals (the equivalent of a 20 mile an hour wind on all sides of the residence). The auditor then makes various calculations from the Blower Door Test in order to give you the results. Blower doors consist of a frame and flexible panel that fit in a doorway, a variable-speed fan, a pressure gauge to measure the pressure differences inside and outside the home, and an airflow manometer and hoses for measuring airflow.

Duct Leakage Testing is vital for measuring the amount of conditioned air that is lost due to leaks in the ductwork. To ensure that any necessary repairs can be made, it is advisable to have this inspection conducted prior to drywall installation for new construction projects. The results of the test will be readily available as soon as the inspection is completed, allowing for prompt action to enhance energy efficiency and optimize the performance of the HVAC system.

The purpose of Blower Door Testing is to measure the air tightness of a home and check for air leakage. A blower door is a powerful fan that mounts into the frame of an exterior door. The fan pulls air out of the house, lowering the air pressure inside. The higher outside air pressure then flows in through all unsealed cracks and openings. The auditors may use a smoke machine to detect air leaks. These tests determine the air infiltration rate of a building.

2.4 ACH ✔️

When a blower door test is performed and the results are found to be less than 3 air changes per hour (ACH) the building envelope is considered “too tight” which can cause latent moist air to become trapped which can lead to mold growth so mechanical ventilation is required.

Mechanical ventilation improves indoor air quality by providing fresh air and diluting pollutants, controls moisture, and prevents inadequate air flow.
