Air Tightness Testing Services
Air Tightness testing, also known as an air leakage, air infiltration or air permeability test is a test to indicate the cubic metres of air leakage per square metre of external area of the building per hour - [m3 m-2 h-1]. Air leakage can occur through gaps and cracks in the fabric of the building envelope, allowing heat to escape, thus driving up heating bills and C02 production. Part L of the Building Regulations requires that new-build domestic dwellings are tested for air leakage. One of our consultants will be happy to discuss your Air testing requirements for your development.
