Priority Energy has completed the majority of blower door tests performed in Hinsdale, IL since Hinsdale adoption of the Illinois Energy conservation code.
While we found builders in the community initially resistent to the mandated air tightness testing, and results were a little higher than allowed, many builders have worked with Priority Energy to tighten their homes over time. Many of the areas builders have chosen to work with Priority Energy to not only perform blower door testing for them, they have also worked with us to help them find ways to improve the homes they are building.
The average for Hinsdale has hovered just under 4 ACH50, but please take a look at how Hinsdale test results have progressed, and as always we like to give credit where credit is due – we will be on the look out for Hinsdale’s tightest homes. Currently that honor belowns to Byrne Builders, who was able to complete a home in 2016 that came in just over 1ACH50.
