Get your blower door
working for you.
A hands-on half-day for testers who already own the gear but still run into trouble on site — equipment setup, software, edge cases, and real answers from NZ's most experienced airtightness team.
9:00 am – 12:00 pm
High Performer Building Hub
199 Main Highway, Ellerslie, Auckland
Bring your gear — equipment also available on the day
Real scenarios. Real equipment. Real fixes.
This isn't a lecture. Bring the problems you've been stuck on — software errors, tricky installations, multipoint test headaches — and we'll work through them together with hands-on time on the equipment.
Equipment setup & calibration
Common pitfalls with fan installation, pressure tube placement, and getting reliable readings across residential and commercial scenarios.
Software troubleshooting
TECTITE, INFILTEC, and other packages — interpreting error flags, fixing measurement anomalies, and producing clean compliant reports.
On-site problem solving
What to do when a result looks wrong, how to handle difficult building types, and strategies for managing clients on test day.
Standards & compliance Q&A
ATTMA TSL1 and TSL2, ISO 9972, Homestar, Green Star — get clear on what's required and when, from accredited practitioners.
You've got the kit.
This is the support.
Whether you're newly ATTMA accredited or have been testing for years, this workshop fills the gaps that formal training leaves behind.
- Builders and contractors who have purchased blower door equipment and want to use it with confidence
- ATTMA Level 1 holders who want more hands-on practice beyond exam day
- Energy assessors expanding into airtightness testing services
- Experienced testers who've hit a specific technical problem and want expert guidance
- Anyone preparing to offer testing commercially and wanting to refine their workflow
Building Envelope Optimisation — because comfort should be the minimum standard, and achieving it is easier than you think.
