| Sumario: | Infiltration and air leakage is the uncontrolled movement of air through a building envelope or component due to the porosity of building fabric materials, interfaces between materials and components and imperfections in the construction of the building. Infiltration refers to natural conditions, while air leakage refers to a air movement in a building due to a pressure differential. This TM addresses the air leakage testing of both non-domestic buildings and dwellings. It describes the two main currently available test methods: fan pressurisation method ('blower door' test method), which has been used for over twenty years; low-pressure pulse method ('pulse' method), which has been developed more recently. When the first edition of this TM (CIBSE, 2000) was published, there was one recognised test method, and a proposed European standard (prEN 13829). The publication of CIBSE TM23:2000 led to further developments in the UK, based on the CIBSE guidance, including by the Air Tightness Testing and Measurement Association (ATTMA). |
