How blower door testing measures building airtightness and where it fits in energy efficiency work.
Blower door testing measures how airtight a building is. It's an increasingly common part of building performance work in Australia.
A blower door temporarily seals into an external doorway and pressurises or depressurises the building, measuring the air flow needed to maintain that pressure difference.
Air leakage undermines insulation performance, wastes energy, and can drive moisture problems. Testing quantifies leakage and helps identify where to improve.
Blower door testing complements insulation quality checks and thermal imaging, giving a more complete picture of building performance.
Training recognition: Energy Efficiency Skills Institute is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 46127). Nationally recognised training is delivered only where a course is listed as accredited or includes nationally recognised units of competency. Some short courses may be non-accredited industry training.
