Comments on: What is a Blower Door Test? http://www.ccicenter.org/archives/33 Home energy conservation Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:06:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Rob http://www.ccicenter.org/archives/33#comment-69479 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 15:27:35 +0000 http://www.ccicenter.org/archives/33#comment-69479 One thing not touched on by this demonstration is the need for a blower door that produces 50pa of negative pressure. My company a few years ago purchased 2 blower door systems and did not realize this. We ended up having to purchase two more systems because of the need to produce 50pa. We finally ended up going with the the retrotec Q4E http://www.aikencolon.com/Retrotec-Q4E-Air-Blower-Door-Standard_p_1639.html . There are others as well http://www.aikencolon.com/Retrotec-Air-Blower-Systems_c_1074.html I would highly recommend talking to a trained distributor on blower or duct blowers before purchasing one, and I also highly recommend getting training on the system.
