Blower Door Testing During COVID-19

We have had quite a few people ask us about testing during the COVID-19 pandemic.  We are not qualified to say when you should or should not do testing – it is a medical issue and needs to be discussed with health officials.  That said – not many health officials understand exactly what happens during a blower Door test.

Here are two documents which might help you in your decisions:

  1.  The Building Performance Association has released a “BPA Blower Door Position Paper” on the “Back to Work Resource Guide” Page, Under Generally Useful Information.
    Here is a link to the page  https://www.building-performance.org/backtowork. 
  2. TEC has also put down some thoughts on BlowerDoor testing in these challenging times.
