Blower door testing and thermal imaging detect air leaks and insulation gaps, improving energy efficiency by identifying areas needing sealing.
Blower door testing and thermal imaging are services used to assess a building’s energy efficiency. Blower door testing involves using a powerful fan mounted in an exterior door to depressurize the building. This allows for the detection of air leaks by measuring the rate of air infiltration. Thermal imaging uses infrared cameras to visualize temperature differences on surfaces, identifying insulation gaps, thermal bridges, and areas of heat loss or gain. Combined, these methods provide a comprehensive evaluation of a building’s airtightness and insulation quality, helping to identify areas that need improvement to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and reduce utility costs.
