Each building must have 7 air changes per hour (7 ACH50) or less in order to successfully pass the Blower Door test.
Blower Door tests simulate the wind blowing against a building at 20 miles per hour, in which case the total volume of air within the house would be exchanged with outside air 7 times. The 20mph wind is equivalent to 50 Pascals (Pa) of pressure difference. A Blower Door Fan simulates these conditions during a test.

What is a blower door test?

How does a blower door test work?
The blower door is a powerful fan that mounts on the frame of an exterior door. The fan pulls air out of the house, lowering the overall air pressure inside. The higher outside air pressure is then allowed to flow in through any unsealed cracks and openings. These tests are used to determine the overall air “infiltration rate” of a building.
When do you perform a blower door test?
Blower door tests are usually performed at the end of construction projects, after basically anything that would be an unwanted leak needs to be sealed.
