The Importance of Airtightness
The airtightness of a building envelope is critical for energy efficiency and structural longevity. Uncontrolled air leaks lead to significant heat loss, moisture damage, and poor indoor air quality. The BlowerDoor test is a standardized method (ISO 9972) to pressurize or depressurize a building, accurately measuring air leakage and allowing for the precise identification of faults in the construction.
