Automated Performance Testing System
For advanced building diagnostic testing
The Automated Performance Testing (APT) System defines the state-of-the-art in building diagnostics by combining computerized control of the Minneapolis Blower Door system with multi-channel pressure measurement and data logging capabilities. The APT system is operated from a user supplied laptop computer using custom software developed by The Energy Conservatory. During an automated airtightness test, the APT system adjusts the speed of the Blower Door fan while simultaneously monitoring and recording the building pressures and fan flow rates. The APT can be configured to record pressures from attached building zones (attics, garages etc.) during the Blower Door test to help diagnose complex air leakage paths. Blower Door test results are recorded, displayed on the screen and can be saved to a file.
When used with our TECLOG data logging software, the APT system becomes a powerful data logging system with up to 8 high resolution pressure channels and 8 analog voltage input channels (which can be connected to optional temperature, relative humidity and carbon monoxide sensors). The APT system allows you to simultaneously monitor and record the interaction of building pressures along with other performance variables (e.g. temperature, relative humidity) over time.

Automated Airtightness Testing Features
Computerized Blower Door fan control and data collection improves the accuracy and repeatability of test results by reducing wind and operator errors.
Automated operation eliminates time spent zeroing gauges and adjusting fan speed.
Pre-programmed test protocols ensure that the tests are done the same way every time. The system even tells you when to switch flow rings.
Eliminates the need to measure and record offset pressures due to wind and stack effect - the APT system automatically does this at the beginning and end of each test.
Can be configured with additional pressure channels to monitor building zone pressures (e.g. attics, garages) during the Blower Door test.
Cruise Control allows you to maintain a constant building pressure during diagnostic and sealing procedures.
Built-in data analysis, report generator and file storage features.
TECTITE software is compatible with all Windows computers.
Data Logging Features
The APT system is the only data logger with built-in high resolution pressure channels that continuously monitor changes in building pressures caused by wind, stack effect, or mechanical systems such as fans and duct system imbalances.
Available with two to eight precision pressure channels.
Includes 8 analog voltage channels that can be connected to optional sensors for monitoring carbon monoxide, relative humidity, temperature and other important performance indicators.
The Windows data logging software (TECLOG) includes a graphical display that allows you to observe data as they are being collected and saved.
Data files can be easily converted to ASCII format for input into other analysis programs.
Optional sensors available from TEC include carbon monoxide, relative humidity and temperature.
