Air Leakage Testing Equipment comprises a range of specialized tools and devices designed for accurately measuring and assessing the airtightness of buildings. From blower doors and duct testers to smoke pencils and thermal cameras, these equipment enable professionals to identify and quantify air leakage points, aiding in improving energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality.
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.
An Airtightness Certificate is an official document issued after comprehensive testing to verify a building’s airtightness. It serves as proof of compliance with standards and regulations, ensuring energy efficiency and quality assurance. Discover its significance and benefits in assessing and improving building performance.
Air barrier continuity ensures a properly sealed and uninterrupted building envelope, mitigating air leakage. Discover the significance of materials, installation techniques, and quality control to enhance energy efficiency, indoor comfort, and air quality.
Airtightness Verification involves testing and measuring the level of airtightness achieved in buildings. Through specialised equipment and assessments, it helps assess the effectiveness of air sealing measures, identify air leakage points, and ensure compliance with energy efficiency requirements. Ensure optimal building performance and energy savings through airtightness verification.
The Negative Pressure Test, also called a depressurization or blower door test, assesses a building’s airtightness by creating a pressure differential. Learn how it helps identify air leakage, quantify energy loss, and guide targeted air sealing efforts for improved energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
The Positive Pressure Test, also referred to as a pressurisation test, evaluates a building’s airtightness by increasing the interior pressure. Discover how this test identifies air leakage, measures energy loss, and guides improvements in energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
The Duct Leakage Test assesses the level of air leakage within HVAC ductwork systems. Learn how this test identifies leakage points, improves energy efficiency, and optimises air distribution for enhanced system performance and indoor comfort
The Zone Pressure Test assesses airtightness and pressure relationships between different zones in a building. Discover how this test identifies air leakage, verifies compartmentalization measures, and guides improvements in energy efficiency and compliance with building codes.
