What is the difference between airtightness testing and pressure testing?

Airtightness testing and pressure testing are crucial methodologies for assessing air leakage in buildings, with each offering distinct approaches and benefits. Pulse testing, a modern technique, operates at lower pressure levels with minimal disruption, making it suitable for existing buildings and quick assessments. Conversely, blower door testing, a more traditional method, uses higher pressure differentials to provide comprehensive data and locate specific leaks but can be more disruptive and time-consuming.
