Energy Testing reveals Air Leakage

---

A diagnostic Duct Blaster Test
measures air leakage in HVAC Ducts. 

• State compliance allows 5% leakage. If air leakage rate is greater 5%, then corrective work is needed.
• A Duct Blaster Test is required by the NC Building Code for all new and replacement HVAC systems.  
• An independent qualified tester performs the Test to determine the rate of air leakage thru the ductwork.
• General & HVAC Contractors be compliant! Schedule a Duct Blaster Test on your new and replacement units.

  A diagnostic Blower Door Test measures air flow and the air tightness throughout the entire structure.

• The test identifies the amount of air leakage entering and exiting the structure.
• Assesses the building’s indoor air quality and occupant's comfort. 
• Recommends remedial actions to save on energy usage and costs.
• Homeowners  benefit from a Blower Door test - the test will reveal the rate of air leakage!  
• OPTION:  Include Infrared imaging to reveal specific air leakage locations.

  An Energy Audit is a comprehensive inspection, systematic testing and assessment of a building envelope’s energy use and efficiency.

• Determine air leakage and other factors with blower door, fan, manometer, and infrared camera imaging.
• Improve comfort, health and safety, including an evaluation of any damp and mold.
• Evaluate condition of current appliances that are using more energy.

The purpose of an Energy Audit is to identify opportunities for:

• Reducing energy consumption 
• Improving energy efficiency 
• Lowering energy costs  

• All testing done by Building Performance Institute Certified Building Analyst
• NC Residential Building Code: Testing is mandatory for all new homes and HVAC retrofits. 
• Reduce energy consumption, save money and improve comfort, health and safety.
