Frequently Asked Questions
Energy Code Compliant Testing Explained
What is a blower door test?
A blower door test measures how much air leaks through a home’s building envelope. A calibrated fan is temporarily installed in an exterior doorway to depressurize the home, allowing us to measure air leakage and identify areas where outside air enters the structure.
Blower door testing is required for all homes by the Florida Energy Conservation Code for new residential construction for to verify the home meets required air tightness standards before final inspection.
When is duct leakage testing required?
Duct leakage testing is required for many new residential construction to verify the duct system is properly sealed and does not leak excessive air. The test is typically performed before final inspection and measures how much air escapes from the duct system.
Meeting the required leakage limits ensures the HVAC system operates efficiently and helps the home comply with Florida Energy Code requirements.
What blower door results are required in Florida?
Under the Florida Energy Conservation Code, new homes must meet specific air leakage limits measured in Air Changes per Hour at 50 Pascals (ACH50). Most new homes are required to achieve 7.0 ACH50 or less, depending on the compliance path used and credits claimed.
A blower door test verifies the home meets these limits so the builder can pass the required energy code inspection.
How long does testing take?
Most blower door and duct leakage tests take 30–60 minutes depending on the size and stage of the home. Larger homes or homes requiring both tests may take slightly longer.
Testing is quick and non-destructive, allowing builders to stay on schedule and move forward with inspections without delays.
