We will review methods to measure and improve air tightness by reviewing and discussing two case studies. The first is from a southern climate (Virginia) where TEC and CHP teamed up to work on a house in Blacksburg, VA. The second is from a northern climate (Minnesota) where TEC and Seelen Advanced Weatherization teamed up to deliver improvement on a St. Paul home. These case studies will demonstrate key methods in diagnosing where leaks are coming from, options to address and fund the improvements, and ultimately how to complete the work and verify improvements.

Learning Objectives:

By attending this session, attendees will:

Understand how to diagnose key issues in a building envelope
Understand key techniques to address main building envelope issues in both northern and southern climates
Understand decision process for what work should be done and options for funding
