Performance Testing
 
Building Performance Testing plays an important role in how to save energy, the environment, and money. A few easy air flow tests can determine where and how much air is leaking from your home and heating/cooling system. click to enlarge
Having your home tested for air loss can help you establish what measures need to be taken to make you home more energy efficient. click to enlarge

Locating and evaluating the air leakage is the first step in air sealing this can light.
Several different strategies can be implemented to ensure that those areas are sealed and no longer pose an issue.
Air sealing and insulating is most always necessary to achieve the efficiency we all desire, as well as the savings we look forward to.
Sealing off Spaces with Unconditioned Air
Air Sealing and installing Mechanical Ventilation in a home can greatly improve efficiency and indoor air quality.
 Unsealed space with unconditioned air can be a health hazard. click to enlarge
A Building Performance Technician would be able to provide testing to measure the leakage and combustion safety, as well as calculate the ventilation required to bring the home to a safe and
healthy level of air changes per hour (ACH). Using certain spray foams and sealants, specific to the location and job type, the technicians can help prevent air leakage from one space to another. 
Sealing off unconditioned air now can mean lower utility bills and year around comfort for your family. click to enlarge
By installing ventilation as needed, clean fresh air will be directed to ventilate designated areas of the home to improve the overall health, safety, comfort, durability and efficiency of the home environment.
Keep in mind that toxins are able to come into the home through the duct system as well, building performance diagnostic testing can determine if your ducts test high for air leakage.
Damaged or Poorly Installed Ducts Cost You Money
Insulation
Insulation that is poorly or improperly installed is not secure and cannot be guaranteed to assist in whole home heating and cooling efficiency. In addition, unsealed ducts can pull insulation into the home, negatively affecting air quality.Click on the image for a bigger picture
Having duct insulation that is damaged or disturbed can cause a crawlspace to become warmer attracting bugs, rodents and animals. Click on the image for a bigger picture
Repairing these walls can can help prevent mildew, mold and dry rot, as well as insect infestation or further structural issues from becoming problem in your home. Click on the image for a bigger picture
