Pressurisation

The process of increasing air pressure inside a building relative to the outside. This can be achieved during a blower door test to identify air leakage points.

Approved Document J

Stay compliant with heat producing appliances and systems regulations outlined in Approved Document J. Guidelines for building design, construction, and safe installation of heating and combustion systems for occupant comfort and safety.

Envelope Leakage

Envelope leakage refers to the uncontrolled movement of air through the building envelope, leading to energy losses, draughts, and reduced indoor air quality. Explore how to address envelope leakage through air sealing measures and airtightness testing for improved building performance.

Noise Control

Noise control involves strategies and techniques to reduce or eliminate unwanted noise and its effects on human health and the environment. It includes measures such as sound insulation, soundproofing, and urban planning.

Do I Need an Air Test?

Air testing plays a crucial role in construction by assessing the airtightness of buildings and identifying potential air leakage areas. By conducting these tests, construction professionals can enhance energy efficiency, improve indoor comfort, and ensure compliance with building regulations. The results of air tests provide valuable insights for targeted improvements, allowing for a more sustainable and efficient built environment.
