An air test, in the context of construction, is also commonly referred to as an air permeability test or an air leakage test. These terms are used interchangeably to describe the process of evaluating the airtightness of a building. By measuring the rate at which air infiltrates or escapes through the building envelope, including walls, windows, doors, roofs, and floors, an air test provides valuable insights into the building’s overall air leakage performance.
These alternative names reflect the objective of the test, which is to assess the permeability or leakage of air within the structure.
