Stellar Building Performance serves Titusville and North Brevard, from the Kennedy Space Center corridor west across I-95 to the Naples Village, Harbor Lake and Parrish Landing subdivisions.
What Is a Blower Door Test?
Blower Door Testing is required on new residential construction in Titusville, and with the strongest production-subdivision market in North Brevard that usually means volume: Naples Village at Verona, Harbor Lake Estates, Parrish Landing and Huntington Park.
A blower door test measures how much air leaks through the finished building envelope. Stellar Building Performance runs it for builders and developers working in Titusville and returns the report the same day, so the result is never what holds up a closing.
A calibrated fan is sealed into an exterior doorway and the house is brought to a 50 Pascal pressure difference while the fan measures the air needed to hold it there. That reading is what the City of Titusville Building Department checks against the Florida Energy Conservation Code.

Florida Energy Code Blower Door Requirements
The Florida Energy Conservation Code governs every residential permit in Titusville, and it applies to any conditioned structure built as living space.
Titusville is the Brevard County seat and runs its own City of Titusville Building Department. In a recent fiscal year the department took in 5,244 applications, issued 4,975 permits and performed 15,158 inspections, which makes it the busiest jurisdiction in North Brevard by a wide margin.
This is also the strongest production-subdivision market north of the Pineda. We test in Naples Village at Verona, Harbor Lake Estates, Parrish Landing, Huntington Park, Brookshire and Odyssey Ridge, alongside scattered-lot custom work.
Two scheduling details worth knowing: if you need a specific inspection time, the city has you call the inspectors directly between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. the morning of the inspection, and fire inspections are a separate call entirely. We plan our routing around that rather than assuming a window.
Titusville also carries a Flood CRS Class 7 rating, the best in the area. If your lot is in a special flood hazard area, a LOMA or LOMR-F can be a condition of CO, so the envelope report is one of several items that has to land before close-out.
Prescriptive-path homes must not exceed 7 Air Changes per Hour at 50 Pascals, and performance-path homes are held to whatever their energy calculation specifies. All Brevard jurisdictions are on the 2023 Florida Building Code, 8th Edition.
Why is Blower Door Testing Beneficial?
On a production schedule in Titusville, a failed blower door test is not one problem — it is the same problem repeated across every house on that plan.
Excessive air leakage through the building envelope can cause:
In Titusville, blower door testing is what turns “it should be fine” into a documented number before final inspection. Passing the first time is what keeps the closeout on schedule.

Additional Structures Like:
A blower door test in Titusville is usually completed near the end of construction, once the building envelope is in place and the home is getting close to final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy review.
Yes. If blower door testing is on the permit and the result is not documented, the City of Titusville Building Department can hold final approval until it is. That is the whole reason to use a provider who is local to Titusville and shows up when they said they would.
It is recommended to test as close to completion as possible. Our best suggestion is to be one of the last vendors in the project before the cleaners do their final clean. We provide a pre-inspection, get ready checklist in all of our proposals that is designed to make being prepared for your blower door test as simple and easy as possible.
No. Work does not have to stop and the building does not need to be cleared. We just need the envelope in its finished condition, with exterior doors and windows shut.
Blower Door Testing Code Reference
Blower Door Test Florida Requirements Explained
Blower door testing has been required for all new residential dwellings in Titusville since the 2010 Florida Building Code, and the requirement carries forward in the current 2023 Eighth Edition.
Which number your project is tested against depends on the compliance path. The prescriptive method caps envelope leakage at 7 air changes per hour at 50 Pascals in Florida Climate Zone 2, which covers Titusville. Projects documented through the performance or ERI path are tested against whatever the energy calculation for that specific home specifies, and that target is often tighter than 7. Two homes on the same street can carry different numbers.
We keep the full code citations, including the exact language from R402.4.1.2, R403.3.3 and R405, on our main blower door page: read the full Florida blower door code reference.
