Air Tightness Test Stockport
Did you know that one of the top factors influencing your building’s energy efficiency is its level of airtightness? What better way to let ERI Energy conduct your property’s air tightness test in Stockport? Our company is licenced to perform air permeability tests for buildings, fully accredited by STROMA, and has maintained an active membership with ATTMA for many years.
When your property is appropriately sealed, there’s a significant reduction in uncontrolled indoor air leakage. That means the conditioned air (whether cooled or heated) is retained within your building’s envelope. This can lead to significantly low energy bills.
The Passive House Guidelines emphasises optimum level of airtightness for buildings. This reduces the energy consumption per building significantly, which also limits the property’s overall carbon emissions. Therefore, optimum airtightness contributes too sustainable building environment.
If left unaddressed, significant air leakage from your property can allow moisture to accumulate over time in hard-to-reach parts of your building. This can cause condensation. Eventually, mold and rot will begin to grow and lead to damage to your building. Keep in mind that the total cost of mold removal or fixing wood rot and dampness can be significantly high. In addition, these issues can cause your property to fail an air tightness test in Stockport.
