Blower Door & Air Permeability Testing
A Blower Door is a computer-controlled fan used to gently pressurise and depressurise the building. As this occurs, the amount of air leakage through gaps and cracks is measured. It can also measure leakage (airflow) between building zones, like intertenancy walls or fire separation zones.
These tests can also help identify areas where air leaks in or out of the building. This can improve comfort, and indoor air quality and ensure the building meets specific air leakage standards.
By identifying and sealing leaks, blower door tests can reduce heating and cooling costs and improve indoor air quality by preventing pollutants from entering the building from outside.
A high level of airtightness improves the energy efficiency of the building envelope by reducing heat loss in winter, and heat gain in summer. This means heating and cooling requirements are reduced. It also means a heat recovery ventilation system can work more efficiently while filtering incoming air.
Equipment
The Minneapolis Blower Door is widely acclaimed as the most well-designed and well-supported system for conducting airtightness testing in buildings. It is the top choice for building science professionals and high-performance builders. The system includes everything needed for fully automated Blower Door testing of residential construction.
