Air Tightness Testing
Air tightness testing, also known as air permeability or air leakage testing, is a method used to measure how much air is escaping or entering a building through unintentional gaps and cracks in the building fabric.
Air tightness is critical for energy efficiency because unwanted air leakage can lead to heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, requiring more energy for heating or cooling the building. It also plays a role in maintaining indoor air quality and comfort.
In the context of building regulations (Part L), in the UK, air tightness testing is a requirement for new builds and major renovations, to ensure compliance with energy performance standards.
