   seems making the blower door would be easy - what do you use to find the air leaks?

   "Or, a blower window would seem easier?"

   I think one reason it is a door is because most houses have a door that is very close to a particular dimension. A blower door does not have to accommodate too much variation.

   A blower window would have to fit into a wide variety of dimensions.

   Art, for 500 beans you can get someone to come out and show you... energy star certifiers, no less<G>

   Winterlude, Winterlude, my little daisy,

   Winterlude by the telephone wire,

   Winterlude, it's makin' me lazy,

   Come on, sit by the logs in the fire.

   The moonlight reflects from the window

   Where the snowflakes, they cover the sand.

   Come out tonight, ev'rything will be tight,

   Winterlude, this dude thinks you're grand.

   for 500 beans   -  Hey, I'd look in the old fluids eng. book, make a couple of pitot tubes, screw a old furnace squirrel cage to a hacked out hole in a door and do it for somebody else myself for that <G> (maybe not if Lima beans)

   One of the reasons I asked originally was that in Spfld IL, (Moms home town),  City water light and power will come out and do the test TWICE for $20 (once before you fix stuff up, afterwards to see how well you did) Quite a good deal, never been in town there long enough to take advantage of the deal .

   The orig post was just to see if there were any hidden tricks, clever impelmentations, etc.

   Boy, Rez's bump got more responses in a couple of hours than the OP did in a month!

   Our power company south carolina electric and gas will not do that for $20 , but then they are not too much into energy conservation, other than "turn down your thermostate in winter advice
