WPM 5 - Getting the Most from Your Blower Door (Advanced) (In-field)
Wednesday, August 16, 2006 · 1:30 PM - 5:00 PMThe blower door is more than just a device for getting a CFM 50 reading. Increase your ability to use this diagnostic tool. Receive hands-on
training with automated diagnostics to increase productivity and accuracy in measuring worst case depressurization and house pressure imbalances.
Take blower door testing to the next level by using the APT to automate blower door testing and zonal pressure diagnostics.
By attending this session, participants will
1. Explore the automation of home performance pressure testing
2. Learn to increase the
accuracy, reliability and repeatability of blower door tests
3. Discover how using
automated test equipment can simplify zonal pressure and worst case depressurization tests
