Blower Door Test

A Continuous Air Barrier creates an uninterrupted layer to restrict air leakage in a building, improving energy efficiency and indoor comfort. Explore the materials, installation techniques, and benefits of a well-designed Continuous Air Barrier system for optimal building performance.

Soundproofing standards in the UK are a set of regulations and guidelines that ensure effective noise control in buildings and urban environments. They address both new construction and renovations, focusing on reducing sound transmission and protecting residents from unwanted noise.

The standardised leakage area (SLA) quantifies the airtightness of buildings, facilitating energy efficiency evaluations. Explore its calculation, significance in building assessments, and measures to reduce SLA for improved building performance.

Zonal Pressure Testing evaluates airtightness and pressure relationships between different zones in a building. Explore how this diagnostic procedure identifies air leakage, verifies compartmentalisation measures, and guides improvements in energy efficiency and ventilation for optimal building performance.
