1 Getting Started
FanTestic is software designed to capture data and calculate results required for the analysis of building
energy leakage based on one of a number of published Test Standards.
You can carry out the building leakage tests using a gauge, fan and door panel and capture the readings
on paper to later enter into FanTestic so the software can calculate compliance for you and generate a
report in MS Word or put your test readings into MS Excel. This is called a Manual Test in this
document.
Alternatively, you can use FanTestic to automatically control your gauge and fan to carry out the test by
stepping through the required induced pressure target points and capturing data according to the Test
Standard, again with the ability to generate a report or Excel data. This is called an Automatic Test in
this document.
A Semi-Automatic mode is also included if you need more control of your test at each induced pressure
target point.
Be sure you are familiar with carrying out a building air leakage test before attempting to use the
software – for reference you can look at the following Retrotec guides:
1.1 Video training
The following videos explain the steps to be taken:

The following videos are for older versions of the software but you may find them valuable in general,
since many of the steps required to use the software have remained the same.
