Blower door testing finally has an established market to analyze bulk data. Lets study this data collected over the past decade from over 1,000 commercial blower door tests and over 6,500 residential unit tests. Data will include pass and fail frequency, common leakage sources, infrared diagnostics, and more!

Learning Objectives:

1. Analyze pass and fail frequency of tests and the sources of failure
2. Learn which types of buildings and building products are top performers for airtightness
3. Identify 5 common architectural building features which lead to test failures
4. Refine air leakage diagnostic skills using infrared imaging, smoke tracers, and other common methods
