A blower door test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the airtightness of buildings. It consists of a powerful fan mounted on an adjustable panel that fits into an exterior doorway of a building. The test is typically conducted by building professionals, such as energy auditors, architects, or building performance contractors. The blower door test provides valuable information about the overall airtightness of a building and identifies areas where air leakage is occurring. Common leakage points include gaps around doors and windows, penetrations through the building envelope for pipes, wires, and ducts, as well as cracks and openings in the building structure.
