Blower-Door Testing in Florida
Blower-door testing measures air leakage through the building envelope. Florida Engineering offers testing and air-leakage reports as part of its energy services.
Ask About Testing
Service overview
A measured result for your project.
A blower door uses a fan and pressure measurements to assess how much air moves through the building envelope. The test report documents the result for the project and supports the applicable energy-code review.
Measure air leakage
The test evaluates envelope leakage under a controlled pressure difference.
Document the result
An air-leakage report records the measured outcome for review and project records.
Testing measures the completed envelope; energy calculations evaluate the proposed design. A blower-door test does not replace energy calculations, HVAC design or a separate duct-leakage test.

Common questions
A few details before you begin.
When should testing be scheduled?
Coordinate with the team after the building-envelope penetrations are complete and before the relevant final review. Confirm project readiness before booking.
Does every project need the same test?
Requirements depend on the project, applicable code and any exceptions. Share the permit and energy documents so the required scope can be confirmed.
Does booking a test guarantee a passing result?
No. The result depends on the building as tested. If it does not meet the applicable requirements, corrective work and a retest may be needed.
Plan your blower-door test.
Share the project location and available documents so we can confirm the scope and next steps.
