The Air Tightness Test Itself… What’s involved?

Equipment - Depending on the size, complexity and height of the building, either large trailer-mounted fans or smaller electric ‘blower-door-fans’.

Duration - Most tests and any post-test leakage diagnosis are completed in a day, or less.

Conditions - Buildings must be virtually complete and calm weather conditions
