BLOWER DOOR TEST DEMONSTRATION

EcoBilt, along with Pete Moncada of Watt Not, had the pleasure of performing a blower door test demonstration this past week for the AP Environmental Science students from Pinewood Prep. The test was done at the teacher's house in Charleston giving the students a "hands on" idea of how residential energy audits are performed. After the test was concluded, we explained the results to the students which were surprisingly favorable - so much so, the house could easily meet Earthcraft House (www.earthcrafthouse.com) energy threshold standards. Good work, Mr. Neuman!! It is good to see individuals practicing what they preach.
