Energy Auditor Testing Equipment

Blower Door (whole-house infiltration test) – AIR LEAKAGE REDUCES COMFORT by allowing moisture to penetrate your home, and can be responsible for as much as 40% of your heating and cooling costs! Everblue will train you to use the latest pressurization technology to find the air leaks through doors, walls, windows, ceilings, floors, attic and crawl spaces.

Duct Blaster (duct leakage test) – The average duct system leaks 30% of conditioned air into your attic or crawlspace, resulting in higher bills and shortening the life of your equipment because it has to work harder. Everblue training courses will explain how this test supplements Blower Door tests in certain scenarios.

Infrared Scanning – Identifies invisible trouble spots in your home’s insulation, allowing for targeted repairs with maximum benefit and immediate savings. Although this tool is not required for all scenarios, Everblue will familiarize you with it's usefulness to Energy Auditors.

Pressure Pan – Identifies a home's worst energy leaks be they ducts, outlets, openings, etc and allows for prioritization of work.  Everblue's BPI Envelope/Shell training course will train you how to use this quality tool.
