What Is Duct Leakage Testing?
Duct leakage testing measures how much conditioned air escapes from HVAC duct systems before reaching living spaces. Leaky ducts waste energy, increase heating and cooling costs, and can prevent projects from passing energy code inspections.
During a duct leakage test, calibrated equipment pressurizes the duct system and measures air loss in cubic feet per minute (CFM). The results confirm whether the HVAC system meets Massachusetts energy efficiency requirements.
