Blower door evaluation process

Our construction professional checks for insulation and air leaks in the rim joist area of a home. The blower door evaluation process involved careful screening with follow-up inspections of selected homes.
The blower door is an important tool in evaluating energy efficiency in a home. It shows how permeable the home is and depressurizes the home, making it easier for energy auditors to locate cold air leaks.
