Field Testing Partners

The Building America Program would not be the success that it is without the assistance of our field testing partners. They are independent contractors that we have hired to implement our house quality control diagnostic procedures, such as the blower door and duct blaster tests. They also bring a wealth of construction/energy efficiency information and experience into play, providing inspections and input to the builders. They end up being our "eyes in the field" much of the time, as well as providing day-to-day feedback to the builders.
