Blower door tests are used to assess the construction quality of the building envelope, locate air leakage pathways, assess how much ventilation is supplied by the air leakage, assess the energy losses resulting from that air leakage, determine if the building too tight or too lose, and determine if the building needs mechanical ventilation. The blower door is a key component of an energy audit. Other areas noted are existing insulation levels, windows, doors and the heating systems. Data gathered can then be entered into a computer program such as Hot 2000 which can then provide a rating on the house. The EnerGuide Rating System (ERS) is a standard measure of the energy performance of new and existing homes. The rating allows you to compare the energy performance of one house against another and should be a valuable feature for home buyers and sellers. If the home has had an energy audit done, the Energuide Label is typically found on the electrical panel.
