Building Performance

Shop the industry's most comprehensive selection of building performance and weatherization tools. From blower doors, duct testers, and thermal imagers to IAQ monitors and moisture meters, we stock the essential gear for BPI and RESNET compliant energy audits, home inspections, and HVAC diagnostics.

What tools are needed for a home energy audit?

Professional energy audits require precision instruments to measure air leakage, insulation effectiveness, and combustion safety. The core toolkit typically includes:

  • Blower Doors & Duct Testers: For measuring envelope leakage and duct tightness (Retrotec, The Energy Conservatory).
  • Combustion Analyzers: To ensure furnace and boiler safety and efficiency.
  • Thermal Imaging Cameras: For detecting missing insulation and thermal bridges.
  • Moisture Meters & Hygrometers: To identify potential mold risks and water damage.
  • IAQ Monitors: To track particulates, CO2, and VOCs for occupant health.

What is the difference between BPI 1200 and RESNET 310 tools?

While both standards relate to building performance, they often require equipment with specific accuracy ratings or testing protocols. TruTech Tools creates dedicated categories for BPI 1200 Compatible and RESNET 310 Compatible tools to ensure you purchase equipment that meets the strict compliance standards of the Building Performance Institute and the Residential Energy Services Network.

Why is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring important?

Building performance isn't just about energy efficiency; it's about occupant health ("tight house, right ventilation"). Our selection of IAQ and Particulate monitors helps evaluators measure carbon monoxide, radon, VOCs, and allergens to ensure that energy-saving measures do not compromise the safety of the air inside the home.

Why buy building performance tools from TruTech Tools?

TruTech Tools is the preferred supplier for energy auditors and home inspectors because we understand the science behind the tools. We offer support for complex equipment like manometers and data loggers, stock compliant gear for certifications (BPI, RESNET, HHE), and carry the top brands in the industry.
