A demonstration of new automated equipment and techniques for easier and more precise measurement of pressures and airflow in buildings.

Building diagnosticians routinely use measurements of differential pressures, building and duct system airtightness, and mechanical system airflow when investigating air quality, comfort, durability, and energy use problems in commercial and residential buildings. Unfortunately, wind and other sources of noise can create large pressure fluctuations which significantly increase the variability of these measurements, often to the point where they can not be relied upon in the diagnosis of performance problems, or as quality control indicators.
