At ATSPACE our objective is to help you achieve a pass, which is why we offer clients a full range of support services to help you achieve success. However, in the unlikely event of a test failure there are a number of options that can be carried out to detect any areas of air leakage – including:
• Smoke testing – where we can use a combination of smoke and/or smoke pencils to identify leakage points from the building
• Thermography – through the use of infra-red cameras to identify hot/cold spots and hence, areas of air leakage.
However, if you have planned to achieve a successful Commercial Air Test from the start of your project – designed-in air tightness within the building fabrication and built-in air sealing during the construction process – then the chances of failure are greatly reduced.
