Home Performance Assessment

Our Home Performance Assessment is based on criteria contained in the Building Performance Institute (BPI) Technical Standards. BPI is a recognized leader in professional building performance certification and quality assurance.

Our comprehensive diagnostic testing program includes:

Envelope

• Envelope air tightness test using a calibrated blower door and digital manometer to identify opportunities for air sealing
• Visual Inspection of attic and crawl space insulation
• Infrared inspection to assess insulation condition and possible moisture issues
• Visual inspection of doors and windows for fit and performance

Combustion Safety

• Visual Inspection of gas appliances
• Combustion analysis including spillage, back draft and CO levels
• Testing of ambient CO levels in home
• Room by room air pressure testing to identify imbalances that could cause backdrafting
• Inspect accessible gas piping and fittings for leaks (excludes attics and crawlspaces)

Ventilation

• Draw rate of exhaust fans
• Calculation of ventilation requirements based on building volume, occupancy and blower door results

HVAC and Duct Systems

• Visual inspection of duct system and duct insulation needs
• Duct leakage test with Duct Blaster® equipment to quantify leakage and opportunities for sealing
• HVAC equipment testing for static pressure, airflow and temperature measurements.

After completion you will be presented with a detailed report along with recommendations for remediation measures and upgrade opportunities to improve energy performance and indoor air quality.
