TEC Training Tools: Blower Door Simulator and DG-700 Connect

This webinar will introduce you to two user-friendly TEC training software tools that can be used by trainers and trainees to gain experience working with TEC’s DG-700 and the Minneapolis Blower Door™ System. TEC Blower Door Simulator The TEC Blower Door Simulator is a software training aid that helps trainers demonstrate how to perform a blower door test without having to physically set up a blower door system. The Blower Door Simulator includes a virtual Model 3 Minneapolis Blower Door and DG-700 Pressure and Flow Gauge that can be used to perform a blower door test on a virtual house. Test conditions such as building airtightness, indoor/outdoor temperatures, building style and wind levels can be set to simulate a variety of testing scenarios. The program also includes a RESNET One-Point Test Calculator so that the user can see the effects of temperature and baseline pressure corrections on overall test results using the RESNET test procedure. DG-700 Connect The TEC DG-700 Connect software is a training and quality assurance (QA) tool that allows users to project a virtual image of one or more connected DG-700 digital pressure gauges on a computer monitor/projector screen. The functions and modes of the DG-700 gauge are operable by mouse clicks on the virtual gauge keypad, making it an ideal training aid for duct and envelope training programs. When used along with screen-sharing programs, DG-700 Connect can be used for both QA activities and to provide remote technical support.
