Air Tightness Testing
Air Tightness Testing
Air tightness testing (also known as blower door testing) is essential for measuring how much air escapes from a building.
It’s a legal requirement for new dwellings under Ireland’s Building Regulations Part L and plays a key role in achieving NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) standards.
