Depressurisation

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

Sound Pressure Level (SPL)

SPL, an essential metric in acoustics, measures the intensity of sound waves. It quantifies how loud a sound is and is typically expressed in decibels (dB). Understanding SPL is crucial in various applications, from audio engineering to noise pollution control.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within buildings and its impact on occupant health and comfort. Factors like ventilation, pollutant levels, and humidity play a crucial role. Discover how to assess, monitor, and improve IAQ to create a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment for everyone.

Heating System Efficiency

Heating system efficiency is critical for maintaining comfort and reducing energy consumption. Learn about factors influencing efficiency, types of heating systems, and how optimising efficiency results in lower heating costs and reduced environmental impact.

Building Envelope

The physical boundary that separates the interior of a building from the external environment. It
