At ISBA TP, we train the experts of the future in high-performance, sustainable buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\r\n\ud83d\udd0d Last week, our fourth- and fifth-year students tried out the Blower Door Test: an essential tool for measuring the quality of a building’s envelope and detecting invisible air leaks.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2699\ufe0f How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A calibrated fan creates negative pressure in the building, which allows us to quantify air leakage, locate leaks with a thermal camera and anemometer, and calculate key indicators such as the n50 index or Q4Pa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfafEducational objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\r\n\r\n\r\nOur students learn to analyze the energy performance of buildings, identify design or construction flaws, and propose corrective solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is essential for reducing energy consumption, improving indoor comfort, contributing to air quality, and meeting RE2020, BBC, and Passivhaus standards.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 A practical skill to support the energy transition and build a more sustainable future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training supported by the South Region \u2013 Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d’Azur<\/p>\n\n\n\n
