Blower Door Test

A diagnostic test that measures the airtightness of a building. A calibrated fan is used to depressurise or pressurise the building, and the resulting airflow is measured to determine the air leakage rate.

What is an air test?

Air tests assess building airtightness, measuring air infiltration or escape. They guide targeted improvements, reducing heat loss, enhancing energy efficiency, and improving occupant comfort. Regulatory compliance is ensured, and analysis of results informs effective measures for energy-efficient and sustainable construction.

Leakage Rate Index

The Leakage Rate Index (LRI) is a crucial measurement used to evaluate and quantify the extent of air leakage in a building’s envelope. By assessing the LRI, building professionals can determine the airtightness performance and identify areas for improvement, leading to enhanced energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.

Zone Pressure Test

The Zone Pressure Test assesses airtightness and pressure relationships between different zones in a building. Discover how this test identifies air leakage, verifies compartmentalization measures, and guides improvements in energy efficiency and compliance with building codes.

Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)

Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is a measure of the effectiveness of hearing protection devices in reducing noise exposure. Discover how NRR is calculated and its role in safeguarding hearing in noisy environments.
