What is Air Pressure Testing?
Also known as air tightness testing, air leaking testing, and air permeability testing, air pressure testing is a process whereby special fans are used to measure how much air leaks from a building as a whole. It’s a mandatory requirement for part L1A and L2A of the building regulations, and it must be carried out for every new build – whether commercial or domestic. The tests are a key part of the SAP calculations, which must be passed for any building to be legally sold.
