What is Air Tightness Testing
Air Tightness Testing (also referred to as Air Permeability Testing) is a requirement of Part L1A & L2A of the Building Regulations for newly built Domestic and Commercial Buildings. Air Tightness Testing measures the amount of uncontrolled air flow (also known as air leakage) within a building as a result of unsealed gaps or cracks within the thermal envelope.
Building Regulations details a maximum permitted threshold for the air pressure test of 10 m3.h/m2. This generous air leakage rate is superseded by a target value detailed in the SAP Calculation (Domestic) as a result of the measure air leakage rate having a direct impact on carbon emissions.
Air Tightness Testing equipment ranges from a small single fan system used for testing residential units to a large multifan systems for testing large commercial or non-domestic buildings.
