What are the challenges in achieving airtightness in large commercial spaces?

Achieving airtightness in large commercial spaces presents a range of challenges, chiefly impacting energy efficiency and costs. Significant energy losses from air leakage can lead to increased heating and cooling expenses, with potential annual energy cost savings ranging from 2% to 36% for improvements, particularly in heating-dominated climates. However, many commercial and institutional buildings fall short in achieving optimal airtightness, primarily due to mechanical system leaks and inadequate building envelope sealing.
