Air Tightness Test
Air Tightness testing is the key feature of any energy efficient building, reducing wasted heat and allowing a building’s atmosphere to be controlled by mechanical ventilation heat recovery units. This helps to create a healthier environment.
Air tightness testing is undertaken to find a building’s air-permeability rating.
Air tightness testing is an integral part of Part L of The Building Regulations which needs new buildings to meet specific air-permeability targets.
