Airtightness Testing
Clean Energy Ireland have been testing buildings since 2007, with thousands of tests completed each year.
Our experienced team are fully NSAI certified. Our equipment and expertise allows us to test a range of buildings types, from studio apartments to multi-storey office blocks.
In addition to testing buildings, we offer:
- Advice on the air tightness regime.
- Design reviews – checking design details to ensure they are robust and likely to be airtight when complete.
- Site inspections to ensure that the building is being constructed in an airtight manner.
- Smoke testing for the localisation of the air leakage points.
- Thermal imagery for air tightness and insulation fault finding.

Our Procedure
The following factors are vital for a successful airtightness test:
1. Test location and opening size.
2. Size and condition of house.
3. Interference to other work during test process.
4. Availability of power.
5. Accessibility to all rooms in the property.
6. Implications of unsavoury weather conditions.
To achieve the best performance we may retest a house.
The test equipment is calibrated to UK National Standards requirements.
Clean Energy Ireland performs airtightness testing in accordance with:
– IS EN ISO 9972:2015 (Thermal performance of buildings – Determination of air permeability of buildings – Fan pressurization method)
– CIBSE Technical Manual TM 23 (Testing Buildings for Air Leakage) ATTMA TS 1 (2006).
