Your house may be out of balance. . . Building Performance Testing can help you
with these problems.
The house is a complicated system that relies on multiple components to keep you comfortable and healthy. Heating and Cooling systems, insulation, ventilation fans, walls, floors, ceilings, foundations and roofs all need to function together to provide an even temperature and healthy air inside your home all with the minimal use of energy. Unfortunately, many homes and their systems fall short of this goal. The causes of these problems are many but the solution to creating a healthy, well balanced and comfortable home requires someone who will examine the whole house as a system. The experts in this field are known as Building Performance Contractors. They understand how all the parts of a building function together, what problems arise when the system is out of balance or missing important parts, and how to fix the problems so that you can enjoy lower heating and cooling bills, clean healthy indoor air and a comfortable home.
