• Air Tightwess
  An air tightness test measures the flow of air in and out of a building. Air leakage is the uncontrolled flow of air through gaps and cracks around the junction of the various elements and in the fabric of a building. It has been estimated that approximately 33% of building energy losses can be attributed to uncontrolled ventilation & air infiltration.
