Questions & AnswersHi! My name is Joshua Lindsey with CFM Building Science Solution. On behalf of Expert Village, we are going to be doing a blower door test on this home. This hose is our reference to what the wind is doing outside. So since this is referencing the outside, we are going to put it on the one that says reference because that is all it is doing, taking a reference. It is not actually giving us an air input, it's not showing us how much air is being pushed into it but it is just giving us a reference of what the outside is. This one however is an actual input from the fan so this one is going to go on input. All we literally have to do is turn this computer on and make sure our fan works which it does. Once we do that, the whole rest of it is up to the computer. The cover stays on the fan for now because we have to see what the pressures are inside the house versus outside the house, how much the wind is blowing and we want to do all that with the cover on the fan for the moment being.
