New TEC Quick Guide

Manual One-Point RESNET Blower Door Test

In 2011 the RESNET National Home Energy Rating System added new performance testing procedures for Building Enclosure Testing. The new Chapter 8 Standards went into effect January of 2012. Under section 802, Raters will have the option of performing one of 3 Building Enclosure Test procedures.

1. Single-point test
2. Multi-point test
3. Repeated single-point test

All 3 of the tests can be easily completed using TEC's free TECTITE

Automated Blower Door test software. If you choose to work without a computer and wish to perform the tests manually, you can just download our new quick guide for instructions. If you wish to create a report from your manual test you can also use TECTITE or our IPhone ITEC RESNET app to manually enter in your test data and create a report that you can email back to your office or client.
