Blower Door Testing: IECC Code Compliance & Home Performance
Green Thinking, LLC provides certified blower door testing to measure whole-home air leakage and verify airtightness. This test is essential for both new construction and existing homes because it identifies how air moves through the building envelope; a key factor in comfort, efficiency, and durability.
For builders, blower door testing confirms IECC energy code compliance, supports accurate Manual J HVAC load calculations, and provides the documentation needed to pass inspections without delays. For homeowners, it uncovers drafts, hidden leaks, and moisture pathways that raise energy bills and reduce comfort, while also improving indoor air quality and long-term home performance.
Duct Blaster Testing: Code Compliance & HVAC Performance

For builders, duct blaster testing confirms IECC energy code compliance, ensures HVAC systems are performing as designed, and provides the documentation needed to pass inspections. For homeowners, it identifies hidden duct leaks that cause uneven temperatures, higher utility bills, and poor indoor air quality; helping improve efficiency, comfort, and long-term system performance.
