I don't like them either and have said so many times. Glad to meet someone with a little wisdom.

Can't like what you don't understand!

The first picture I saw of a house depressurization fan system was from a 1968 article from Texas Power and Light research into high cooling costs. They have been around for 40+ years and you're still afraid of them or what? They're being used in many countries around the world.

What's the problem with a blower door system?

I embrace some technologies early. I don't think there is anyone in the home inspection industry that did more to popularize the use of IR cameras than John or me. But I'm not ready to jump on board the blower door wagon just yet. I'm not fighting it, but I'm not fighting for it either.

Hi Nick,

Will CRESNET be involved in this as well? Looks like they are still active, but web site is way behind RESNET's site.

Happy New Year,

Rick

Over the years I've used my blower door for:

- residential/commercial airsealing programs
- energy audits
- R2000 program certification for airtighness
- testing to NFPA Standard 2001
- Wind-driven rain leakage site determination in building enclosures
- locating residential sewage odour leakage sites in DWV piping

I've used another version of the "blower door" for duct leakage testing of engineer specified HVAC systems and determination of window air leakage characteristics.
