TSI just performed an air barrier test of a 37,000 sf building for the Army Corps.  This building has 2 sections:  an office area and a warehouse area, which can often complicate the air barrier test because warehouse areas are much more difficult to test and maintain a minimal amount of air leakage.

We have been performing air leakage testing on homes for almost 30 years.  Utilizing a blower door, we can depressurize (or pull a vacuum) on the home to measure the total air leakage.   While the blower door is running, our technicians can walk around a home to identify the individual air leakage sites.
