How We Ensure Your New Construction Project Meets Air Leakage Standards
Blower Door Testing for New Construction
Building a new home or commercial property in Vermont involves numerous steps to ensure it is energy-efficient, comfortable, and safe. The blower door test is the way builders can detect air leaks in a building, meet energy codes, improve indoor air quality, and verify the work being done is of the highest quality. All new construction projects are required to undergo this test to meet local building codes and energy standards.

The Blower Door Testing Process
Initial Consultation
Our process begins with an initial consultation to understand the specific insulation needs of your new construction project. We will discuss the building’s design, construction materials, and scheduling. Then once all the penetrations are correctly handled we can schedule an air leakage test
Setting Up the Blower Door Fan
Blower door tests require that all windows and doors are closed, interior doors are left open, and a blower door fan attached to an exterior door.
Conducting the Test
Once the equipment is set up, we will conduct the blower door test. The fan depressurizes the building, and sensors will measure the rate at which air re-enters through leaks and cracks.
Analyzing the Results
We then analyze the results and provide a simple and concise report, that will also include recommended insulation solutions to enhance the building’s energy efficiency.
