Volumetric Airflow Verification

Locate unconditioned attic bypasses, baseboard perimeter leakage, and recessed lighting penetrations before engaging mechanical cooling systems.

Calculate conduction losses across wall studs, uninsulated headers, and single-pane glazing assemblies during peak solar irradiance hours.

Confirm return air register dimensions against total system cubic-feet-per-minute requirements to prevent coil freeze and compressor strain.
