If you're a professional in today's fast-evolving industry of high performance construction and retrofits, then you've probably found yourself wondering a few things:

•  Who can show me how to run that test? 
•  How do I get the most out of the equipment I own? 
•  Why do the tests work, and how do I explain them? 
•  What quality control methods should I use? 
•  Which tools will make my job faster and easier?

With this guide, experienced and new pros alike will get step-by-step details on advanced testing, complete with:

•  Best practices, important concepts and pitfalls
•  How to present data to the client

•  Time-saving tips

Home Performance Diagnostics is a step-by-step, beautifully photographed technical manual for performing home performance testing.  Author Corbett Lunsford has experience in hundreds of homes in different climate zones, and clearly recalls all the embarrassing mistakes he made in many of them, and so he's worked hard to make these complex diagnostics easy to master.  More than 40 different test methods are demonstrated in clear detail, and with corresponding formulas and interpretations, in 3 main sections:  Envelope, HVAC, and Electrical, PLUS: an Introduction to systems thinking and the most efficient breakdown yet of building science fundamentals, and an Appendix demonstrating critical prerequisites to testing.

220 PAGES, 280+ PHOTOS, 40 TEST METHODS, 30+ TOOLS, 40+ EQUATIONS, INTERNATIONAL CONVERSIONS, & QUIZZES FOR EACH DIAGNOSTIC
