Why Bloomington property owners choose HECS for Blower Door Testing

Local code officials, builders, developers, and program administrators across Indiana trust HECS for third-party Blower Door Testing because we deliver:

  • NCI-certified field technicians — every HECS tech holds current NCI Certified Commercial Air Balancer credentials. The person who takes the readings is the person who signs your report.
  • Fixed-fee proposals in 24 hours — not estimates, not time-and-materials. We quote travel cost up front, so the invoice matches the proposal.
  • Reports that pass program review — ENERGY STAR, NGBS Green, EarthCraft, 45L IRS Form 8908, FORTIFIED IBHS submission, code-official review. We deliver in the format your reviewer needs.
  • Local code expertise — Bloomington projects reference the 2014 Indiana Building Code with 2019 IECC for energy. IHCDA (Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority) requires NGBS Green certification for LIHTC-funded multifamily; Indiana University-area developments frequently pursue NGBS Green or Enterprise Green Communities.

    Frequently asked questions — Bloomington process + scheduling + code

    How quickly can HECS schedule a blower door test in Bloomington?

    Most blower door tests in the Bloomington metro schedule within 1-2 weeks of contract signing. Single-fan residential tests can usually be booked within 3-5 business days.

    Is HECS an active RESNET-certified HERS Rater for Bloomington?

    Yes. HECS field technicians hold current RESNET HERS Rater credentials (valid through 2026) and submit ratings through the accredited provider's registry. HERS Index, ENERGY STAR v3.1, and code-required blower door tests all carry the same credential.

    What is the difference between a blower door test and a duct leakage test for Bloomington projects?

    A blower door test measures total building envelope air leakage (ACH50 / CFM50). A duct leakage test measures leakage of the HVAC duct system only (CFM25 / CFM50 to outside). ENERGY STAR Multifamily, code-official review, and 45L credit all require separate envelope and duct tests.

    What building codes does HECS verify blower door tests against in Bloomington?

    HECS verifies the service against the applicable Indiana state energy code, ASHRAE standards, and any program-specific certification path your project requires. We follow ASTM E779 for the test procedure and report in the format your code official or program reviewer requires.

    What if my building fails the blower door test on the first visit in Bloomington?

    HECS documents specific leak locations where visible (using a combination of smoke pencil and visual inspection). The certification report identifies the test result vs. the target, with recommendations for sealing. Re-test after sealing is quoted separately.

    Does HECS submit blower door test results to code officials on behalf of Bloomington projects?

    Yes. We coordinate test scheduling, result submission, and any clarifications with code officials, HERS raters, and program administrators as needed.
