The Role of Air Tightness Testing in Improving Building Performance
Modern buildings are expected to be energy-efficient, durable, and comfortable. One of the most effective ways to ensure a building meets these expectations is through air tightness testing . This testing method helps identify areas where air may be leaking in or out of the building. These leaks can cause energy loss, reduced comfort, and even structural damage over time. In many countries, air tightness testing is now a required step during building inspections. In regions like the Middle East, where temperature control is critical due to extreme weather conditions, air leakage can lead to high energy bills and poor indoor air quality. That’s why professional services, like those provided by Cornerstone Middle East, are essential in conducting accurate testing and reporting. What is Air Tightness Testing? Air tightness testing is the process of measuring how much air escapes or enters a building through unintended gaps or holes. It helps determine how well-sealed a building is agains...
