AIR BARRIER TESTING & BLOWER DOOR TESTS

Air Barrier Testing Reduces Costs And Increases Efficiency

Air barrier testing is aimed at locating and isolating areas of your building that allow air to move in and out of your building. While minor intrusions may not be out of the ordinary, major leaks or multiple leaks can cause serious wear and tear on your building. Over time, these leaks can cause your building HVAC systems to overwork, which results in higher utility bills, increased maintenance, and premature system failure. Air leaks can be a great place for water to leak into your building. The team of experts at Correct Air Engineering has tested the air barriers of thousands of structures and provides the knowledge necessary to help you through the testing process. Correct Air Engineering's certified experts can help you meet tight air leakage standards using ASTM Standards E1827 and ASTM E779.

AIR BARRIER TESTING IDENTIFIES CAUSES OF ENERGY LOSS

At the heart of air barrier testing, the purpose is to identify any issues that can cause energy loss. For many, the concern of energy loss revolves around an increase in utility bills. When air is able to escape or enter your building, then air conditioning and heating systems have to increase their output in order to maintain and regulate air temperature. Air barrier testing helps reduce system overwork and save those systems from premature failure, which ultimately saves building owners money.

WHY YOU NEED AIR BARRIER TESTING AND ASTM STANDARDS E1827 AND ASTM E779

Air barrier testing not only helps your building be energy efficient and reach sustainability goals, but it also helps you meet the ASTM Standards set by the Army Corps of Engineers. Air leaks have a direct impact on the comfort and cost of your ownership. Buildings need to be designed and constructed in a way that is both safe and durable for occupants. Air barrier testing allows you to evaluate indoor air quality, moisture intrusion, and building system longevity.

AIR BARRIER TESTING HELPS YOU MEET ASTM E1827 AND ASTM E779 STANDARDS

During an air barrier test, Correct Air Engineering's experts can help your building meet ASTM Standards E1827 and ASTM E779. These standards are designed and enforced to not only increase comfort in buildings, but also to increase the safety of tenants. In a hospital, we ensure that certain rooms (e.g. surgical, operating, etc.) meet the air-tightness levels established using ASTM E1827 Door Fan Pressurization Tests and NFPA 2001 (National Fire Protection Association's Standard On Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems). These tests allow certain hospital rooms to maintain either positive or negative pressures for health and safety reasons. With Correct Air Engineering's experts by your side, you can reduce the risk of safety issues caused by water intrusion and mold. 		  photo5 photo6
