Phrases with «blower door»

A "blower door" is a device used to test the air tightness of buildings. It consists of a powerful fan that is fitted into an external doorway or window frame.

This test helps identify areas where air leaks are occurring, which can then be sealed to improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort. Full definition
