Testing and Consulting Services
| Air Leakage Test: A fan is placed in an outer doorway. During the test, the
amount of air flowing through the fan will equal the amount of air
flowing through leaks in the outer shell of the building.
|
 |
| Cool Smoke
Pencil: Small puffs
of cool-white smoke
are used to help you
see where dust,
mold spores, pollen, insects and cold drafts have been able to enter.
NOTE:
In typical new and existing homes, the gaps, cracks and holes in
the outer shell total between 100 and 300 square inches and are open
all the time. Ducted air circulation systems in typical homes create significant pressure differentials that drive air through the
existing openings between the interior and exterior. |
 |
| Visual Inspection: To identify moisture damage, mold growth,
leaky air ducts, etc.
Indoor
Air Pressure Testing: To identify conditions that can waste
energy and damage your health. |
 |
|
Consulting:
To help you solve problems
identified during the inspection and tests. NOTE: We also offer rating services for
EPA Energy Star Homes, and
American Lung Association Health Houses.
