E) Execution of airtightness- pressure tests with
Blower Door Equipment
Infiltration tests of new and existing buildings with Blower Door
In order to obtain a well temperated house throughout the year with low energy costs involved it will be necessary to check the infiltrations of the project and the airtightness of the building. In order to be successful we start from the beginning during the planning phase to think in advance of possible leakages in order to prevent them. During the executing phase we do a Blower Door test of the building in order to eliminate problem zones of the building at an early time and, of course, we offer final Blower Door test in order to get the Blower Door certification for the Passive House Standard.
