The need for Air Tightness Testing in our buildings
Research shows that up to half of all heat loss in buildings can be due to air leakage and uncontrolled ventilation. Insulation levels have increased substantially over the last few decades, but heated air is still escaping and can be pinpointed as a major source of energy loss. The climate in Ireland does not suffer from extremes in low temperatures, but are exposed to extremes in wind pressure. While insulation is central to low energy construction, air tightness must also be central to an energy efficient strategy to reduce unnecessary heat loss. Sealing with inexpensive sealants can often reduce air leakage resulting in a saving of 20% of the total house heating bill. Air Tightness Testing provides a blower door testing service to both new and existing buildings.
