Need an Air Test?
Need an Air Test?An air leakage test, also known as air infiltration or air permeability testing, assesses the extent of uncontrolled airflow through gaps or cracks in a building’s structure. The test yields results quantified as the volume of air leakage (m³ per hour) per square meter of the building envelope. It helps gauge the effectiveness of the building’s envelope in controlling air movement, crucial for energy efficiency and indoor air quality management.
Air Permeability Testing is a requirement under Part L of the Building Regulations as part of an overall energy performance assessment of a new-build construction and PAS2035:2023 for retrofitting. Air leakage is calculated as cubic metres of air leakage per hour per square metre at 50 Pascals (or 4Pa for Pulse Testing).
