The Importance of Blower Door Testing Provided by Rader’s Insulation Performing a blower door test on a newly constructed project can be a crucial part of the construction process. This test determines the amount of a building envelope’s air leakage, and amount of air exchanges per hour. While not yet mandatory in all Louisiana parishes, calculating air exchange is extremely important as it factors into a building’s energy efficiency, moisture control, and healthy indoor air quality. With all moving parts in today’s building and custom home construction, request your contractor hires a certified building analyst to perform this all-important test to protect you the owner, the contractor, and insulation and mechanical subcontractors as well. This simple test quantifies your project’s performance!
