Air Tightness Testing
Air Tightness Testing
Air tightness testing helps both homes and commercial properties improve energy efficiency by identifying air leaks around windows, doors, and joints. Using a blower door, we pressurize the building to detect leaks, which, when sealed, reduce energy consumption, cut heating costs, and eliminate drafts. This simple step boosts comfort and enhances property value, making it a smart investment for any building looking to save energy and lower its carbon footprint.

What is Air Tightness Testing and How Does it Work?
Air tightness testing, or blower door testing, measures a building's air leakage to assess its energy efficiency. It identifies areas where uncontrolled airflow leads to heat loss, driving up energy bills. The process involves sealing the building and using a fan to create pressure, with a blower door measuring airflow to detect leaks around windows, doors, and joints.
Benefits of Air Tightness Testing
Energy Efficiency: Pinpoints heat loss areas, reducing energy consumption, especially during cooler months.
Lower Energy Bills: Sealing air leaks helps heating and cooling systems work more efficiently, cutting energy costs.
Improved Comfort: Eliminates drafts, stabilizes indoor temperatures, and reduces moisture-related issues like dampness.
Increased Property Value: Homes with high air tightness scores are more energy-efficient and attractive to buyers.
Investing in air tightness testing helps reduce energy bills, enhance comfort, and boost property value—making it a smart choice for both homeowners and businesses.
