benefits of Airtightness
- Improve occupant comfort by identification of heating, cooling and comfort issues, typically decreasing unwanted draughts and hence allergens, dust and dirt.
- Improved airtightness leads to a reduction in the loss of conditioned air (heating/cooling) and thus lower energy bills, it can improve acoustics, rejecting outdoor noise making the building “feel” better to live in
- Quantify how leaky your building is, obtaining verification of the actual building envelope performance
- Reduction in your carbon footprint having an airtight building i.e. reduced environmental impact for energy usage.
At Green Wave Projects we use calibrated test equipment and software. Prior to your appointment, we will guide you on preparing for the test.
The appointment can differ depending on the complexity and air-tightness of your home.
