Blower door testing, also known as air leakage testing, is essential for assessing the airtightness of homes.

This is a mandatory step before obtaining a certificate of occupancy, ensuring homes meet the stringent Florida code compliance requirements.
For architects, engineers, contractors, and home builders, blower door testing is a crucial step in finalizing building construction. This testing is not only about meeting code requirements but also about optimizing HVAC system performance and ensuring overall indoor comfort.
