Air Tightness Testing is the process of measuring the amount of conditioned (heated or cooled) air entering and exiting a building through uncontrolled infiltration. It is a measurement of how much air leaking is occurring within a building.
Air Tightness Testing is important to ensure conditioned air is not escaping the building, therefore requiring less operation of your heating / cooling system. Air Tightness Testing ensures a more livable, environmentally friendly and cost effective building.
National Construction Code under verification method V2.6.2.3 allows that compliance with Section 3.12.4 (Building Sealing) is verified when a building envelope is sealed at an air permeability of not more than 10m3/hr.m2 at 50 Pa reference pressure when tested in accordance with AS/NZS ISO 9972 Method 1. Builders may obtain an Air Tightness Test demonstrating they comply with this requirement.
Building surveyors and/or certifiers must be confident that the building they are certifying complies with all aspect of the National Construction Code, including the Energy Efficiency provisions for Building Sealing. Certifiers prior to issuing their final certificate should request the builder provide an Air Tightness Test certificate demonstrating compliance with NCC V2.6.2.3.
As a accredited ATTMA professional and with many years in the energy efficiency industry, we can audit and undertake Air Tightness Testing on all buildings up to 4000m2.
