Air Tightness
Air leakage testing and why it’s important for new builds
Looking for air testing Gloucester? Air testing is a widely-used method to measure the total air leakage from a building’s fabric (also known as its envelope), through gaps, holes and cracks. It helps lower energy costs, enhance comfort levels and minimizes the environmental impact of a structure.
In the UK, Part L of the Building Regulations requires it for all new dwellings and buildings other than dwellings. Results from these assessments are used in calculations for Standard Assessment Procedures and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs).
