Key Features of ZipTest
Pro2™ Building Diagnostics Software
These are the programs included in the
ZipTest Pro2 software package for the Texas Instruments TI-86
calculator. For more detailed information, download the software
instructions. Also, don't forget to take a look at the Equation
Nuggets; they are part of the software package also.

1a. Building Tightness Limits (BTL) Program
- Calculate CFM50 for acceptable indoor air quality.
- Based on ASHRAE Standard for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality (62-2001).
|
|
  |
| |
1b. Building Tightness Limits (BTLa) Program
- Based on ASHRAE Standards 62, 119, and 136.
- Calculates ELA, EqLA, CFMNat, ACHNat,
ELAMin, CFMMin, CFM50Min, and
required mechanical ventilation
|
|
  |
| |
1c. Ventilation based on ASHRAE 62.2-2003 (62.2)
Program
- Based on ASHRAE Standards 62.2, 119,
and 136.
- Calculates the infiltration credit for houses with blower door
CFM50 readings.
- Calculates ELA, EqLA, CFMNat, ACHNat,
ELAMin, CFMMin, and required mechanical
ventilation at 50 percent ventilation run-time, 75 percent ventilation
run-time, and 100 percent ventilation run-time.
|
|
 |
| |
2. Energy Index Program
- Calculates this energy index (Btu/Ft2, DD) for seven
fuels: natural gas, electricity, #2 oil, #1 oil, K-1 kerosene,
LPG, and wood
|
|
  |
| |
3. Combustion Venting Safety Calculations Program
- Calculates CFM50 minimum, exhaust ventilation CFM
maximum, and resulting pressure difference (Pascals).
|
|
  |
| |
4. Pressure Diagnostics Program
- Calculates CFM50 for Minneapolis Blower Door, Model
3, temperature-compensated values.
- Calculates Minneapolis Duct Blaster flow rates.
- Calculates basic Zone Pressure Diagnostics
(Bldg/Zone, Zone/Outdoors, Total Path) for Hole, Door, and
Vent methods.
- Calculates duct series leakage tests.
|
|
  |
| |
 |
| |
5. Weatherization Cost-Effective Guidelines Program
- Allows crews to accurately use blower door-guided air sealing.
- User may input local climatic, fuel, efficiency, and house data.
- Instructs when to continue air sealing and when to stop.
|
|
  |
| |
 |
| |
6. Advanced Zone Pressure Diagnostics.
- Determines the amount of air leakage through pressure boundaries.
- Predicts connections among as many as four building zones
- Program is based on the research work done by the Center for
Energy and Environment for the Chicago Region Low-Income Weatherization
Program.

7. Equation Nuggets
- Fifty pre-loaded equations for building diagnostics work.
- Solve for any variable by entering all other variable values.
- Makes doing "what if" studies a breeze.

8. Multi-Point Blower Door and Duct Analysis Testing
- Enter blower door data for two to over ten different pressures.
- Solved for Building Flow Constant, Flow Exponent, and Correlation
Coefficient.
- Quickly find CFM for any building pressure. - Graph scatter
plot and regression line.
- Solve for Equivalent and Effective Leakage Areas.
- Analyze pressure problems with Forecast Feature.
|
|
 |
| |
9. Financial Functions Program (shareware from Texas
Instruments)
- Calculates many financial values, including number of payment
periods, interest rate, present value, future value, cash flows,
amortization, outstanding balance, and effective interest rate.
