## Resource

Matt Risinger hosts a conversation with Bill Spohn and Eric Kaiser of Tru Tech Tools, focusing on how testing and measurement shape modern building performance. The discussion centers on blower door testing, airflow diagnostics, and the growing role of data in verifying airtightness and system performance. They explore how builders and HVAC professionals use tools to identify leakage, improve indoor air quality, and fine-tune mechanical systems. The conversation also touches on training, evolving standards, and the shift toward performance-based construction, with practical insights into integrating diagnostics into everyday building workflows.
