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.

Noise Criteria (NC)

Noise Criteria (NC) curves are a standard for assessing indoor noise levels and ensuring acoustic comfort. Discover how NC ratings are determined, their role in building design, and their impact on occupant well-being.

Air Leakage

Air leakage refers to the uncontrolled movement of air into or out of a building, resulting in energy losses, discomfort, and compromised indoor air quality. Discover the causes, detection methods, and effective air sealing measures to enhance energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
