Inspection & Testing Services
Commerical Blower Door
A commercial blower door test uses high-powered fans to pressurize or depressurize a building, measuring how much air leaks through the envelope. This test verifies airtightness for code compliance and helps identify areas of energy loss in commercial structures.
Residential Blower Door
A residential blower door test uses a calibrated fan installed in an exterior door to pressurize or depressurize the home, measuring air leakage through the building envelope. It ensures the home meets energy code requirements while identifying drafts and inefficiencies that impact comfort and utility costs.
Duct Leakage Testing
A duct leakage test measures how much air escapes from an HVAC duct system using a calibrated fan and pressure gauge. It verifies code compliance while identifying leaks that reduce efficiency, airflow, and overall system performance.
Energy Audits / HERS Ratings
An energy audit or HERS rating evaluates a home’s overall energy performance by analyzing many components and systems to generate a standardized efficiency score. It helps identify improvement opportunities, ensures code or program compliance, can qualify the property for energy incentives, and even enhance a home’s resale value.
IECC Testing
Other IECC testing services include inspections such as insulation verification, air barrier integrity checks, and mechanical ventilation testing to ensure all building components meet energy code requirements. These tests help confirm overall system performance and compliance beyond blower door and duct leakage testing.
Infrared Thermography
Infrared thermography is a diagnostic tool that uses thermal imaging to identify temperature differences, helping detect air leakage, insulation gaps, and even moisture intrusion. It provides a fast, non-invasive way to pinpoint hidden issues affecting energy efficiency and building performance.
Ventilation Testing
Ventilation testing measures the performance of required exhaust fans and whole-building systems to ensure proper airflow and code compliance. It helps confirm healthy indoor air exchange, improving air quality, moisture control, and overall building performance.
