Hi! 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. We are going to take this cable and we are literally going to use this cable to connect this computer with our laptop that runs the actual program. Okay and now we will see that this lights up green which means that our program recognizes that everything is hooked and we are all set and ready to go. So we are going to start test. So it is asking me to cover the fan and what it is going to do is take a base line. The base line means that it is going to figure out exactly what the wind outside is doing that would mess up our pressure test on the house. So we are going to go ahead and let it take our base line. It is going to take a 100 samples average out of those 100 samples what the wind is doing.
