A blower door test uses a powerful fan to measure how much air leaks in and out of a building, helping identify gaps that impact energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality.
A HERS test evaluates a home’s energy efficiency through on-site diagnostics and modeling to produce a score that shows how well the home performs compared to standard construction.
A duct leakage test measures how much air escapes from a home’s duct system to identify inefficiencies that affect comfort, energy use, and indoor air quality.
