Blower-door-directed retrofit to finish weatherizing the uptown Butte community center.

After the door and attic fixes, the Park Street community center still has smaller leaks around windows and the foundation sill that only a blower door test will find and rank. This credentialed final step completes the building's weatherization sequence for Butte's long winters.

Pay

$700 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before and after blower door reading plus photos of sealed bypasses.

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Set up the blower door fan in the main entry and depressurize the building to find the biggest leaks.
2. Walk the building with a hand on the wall to feel for draft at outlets, rim joists, and top plates.
3. Seal the located gaps with caulk, foam, or gasket material, largest leaks first.
4. Add or top up insulation batts or loose-fill where the sealed cavities are now exposed.
5. Re-run the blower door, log the before and after reading, and photograph the sealed areas.

What counts as done

• before photo
• after photo
• GPS tag
• blower door reading log

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Energy Efficiency Audit. Energy efficiency work begins with the walkthrough audit, the kind the ASHRAE standard describes: a trained eye moving through a building, reading the bills, the walls, the lights, and the equipment, and coming out with the short list of fixes worth doing first. Mastery looks like an auditor who can feel where a building is bleeding money within the hour, and prove it on paper. That instinct is trained by repetition on real buildings. This packet is one repetition: one system observed, one reading taken, one finding recorded the way the standard asks.
