Joel introduces his first question to Mr. Joel Weberman, a certified Air Vac specialist. New local building codes require the door blower test to be conducted before receiving a CFO for residential buildings. What does the test involve? “Whereas the test is an energy efficient tool that’s been used previously, it is now mandatory by law before a CFO is granted. The test successfully checks the air conditioning ducts for leaks or open valves. Two tests are performed to get result accuracy. 1. Duct testing: This involves the closing of all outlets and then an expert uses a machine with a meter attached to conduct computerized checks of air supply. 2. Door blower testing: Using a large frame and fan, all rooms are sealed and depressurized, with the enveloped walls preventing the introduction of any air flow. The maximum level of air exchange is 3 for certification and the air exchange may not exceed that level. Have a question, explanation or story to share?
