What is a Blower door test?
This is a common name used to describe the combination of testing equipment required when undertaking an air leakage test or air permeability test. Blower door testing, or air pressure testing, allows the accurate measurement of air movements through the fabric of your building and is typically used to pressure and depressurize the building so that the cracks & gaps can be found.
Why do I need a Blower Door Test?
Since June 2008 an Air Pressure Test is a compulsory requirement for Building Energy Rating (BER) Assessments for new builds. An air tightness test is used to calculate an air permeability rating for the dwelling and this rating that must meet the latest Building Regulation standards.
Benefits of a Blower Door Test:
- This test identifies air leakage in new and existing dwellings, air leakage means heat loss
- Our report identifies draughts in the dwelling, areas affected which can range from attic trap doors, windows and doors and smoke detectors in ceilings
- Initiates an environment for the proper controlling of the heating system in a dwelling
- By having the building airtight it can eradicate the air paths through which sound travels
