Frequently Asked Questions
Does QED LAB provide building envelope testing services across all of Oregon?
Yes. QED LAB provides professional building envelope testing throughout Oregon — not just in major cities. Whether your project is in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, Medford, or a smaller community, our experienced team has the resources and equipment to deliver accurate testing wherever your project is located.
What types of building envelope testing does QED LAB offer in Oregon?
QED LAB provides a comprehensive range of testing services in Oregon including whole building air leakage testing, air barrier testing, blower door testing, window testing, and water leakage testing. Each service is designed to verify building performance, support energy code compliance, and protect long-term building durability.
What is the difference between blower door testing and air barrier testing in Oregon?
Both tests evaluate air leakage but in different ways. Blower door testing measures the overall airtightness of the entire building using calibrated fans to pressurize or depressurize the structure. Air barrier testing specifically verifies that the building’s air barrier system is continuous and performing according to design specifications. QED LAB performs both tests regularly on commercial and residential projects across Oregon.
When should whole building air leakage testing be scheduled on an Oregon project?
Timing is critical. QED LAB recommends scheduling whole building air leakage testing during construction before final inspections, so that any deficiencies can be identified and corrected while contractors are still on-site. Testing too late in the process can result in costly delays, failed inspections, and expensive post-construction repairs.
Does QED LAB provide window testing and water leakage testing on the same project?
Absolutely. Many Oregon commercial projects benefit from combining window testing and water leakage testing as part of a comprehensive quality assurance program. Window testing evaluates air infiltration, water penetration, and structural performance, while water leakage testing evaluates the broader building envelope including curtain walls, storefronts, roofing systems, and exterior wall assemblies for moisture intrusion.
