As you know, BGG has just invested in what the world-over sees as the pinnacle in air flow measuring tools; the ACIN Flow Finder Mk 2. As we dive headlong into the commissioning of ventilation systems, we felt there had to be a better way to measure air flow and with this tool we’re developing a more sophisticated process for not only balancing air flows in and out of the house but also adjust flows room by room so the intended design gets realized for optimal health and comfort.
“It is the mark of an instructed mind to rest satisfied
with the degree of precision which the nature of the subject permits
and not to seek exactness where only an approximation of the truth is possible.”
―Aristotle
We were the first to review the device and publish the article in the venerable Home Energy Magazine’s November 2014 issue (see link below) and so far so good on the instrument front, but as Aristotle points out above, sometimes, extreme accuracy comes with extreme frustration as the accounting of precise air flows doesn’t add up. Needless to say, we’re leaving no stone unturned and using all manner of testing apparatus to measure air flows. Keep posted to find out if we crack this nut or if we throw our hands up and admit the nature of the subject only need the humble garbage bag test and a Pitot tube!
