New post on RealMatcher: The Blower Door is the Energy Efficiency Tool of Choice

[Chris Morrell]

There's a new blog post on RealMatcher:

"Five major national energy home building programs, Energy Star, LEED for Homes, Environments for Living, Building Americas Builders Challenge and the National Green Building Standard all have as a core element of their programs the use of the Blower Door Test (ASTM Standard E1827). Due to this the simple blower door test has had a national impact in the building of millions of energy efficient homes. For example by just focusing on the Energy Star program, its impact has meant that over one million new ENERGY STAR qualified homes have been built to date. This has resulted in 325,616,146lbs of coal being saved and 638,598,741 pounds of CO2 have been avoided."
