HEAT 8 - DeltaQ Update: Using Blower Doors for Duct Leakage Testing

Thursday, April 26, 2007 · 10:40 AM - 12:20 PM

Find out how the DeltaQ duct leakage test is performed and discover good practices for achieving the best possible results. Issues of test accuracy and precision will be addressed and compared to current pressurization testing. Discern test limitations with ways of estimating the uncertainty in the field. Participants should have a thorough knowledge of duct leakage testing.

By attending this session, participants will

1. Understand the principles behind DeltaQ duct leakage testing

2. Get tips on best practices for DeltaQ testing

3. Learn what factors impact uncertainty estimates for DeltaQ testing and understand the test limits
