Why is airtightness testing important?

This will all lead to obtaining optimal energy efficiency for the whole building. Detailed airtightness testing is the foundation for understanding your building's performance. We conduct rigorous testing aligned with industry standards (ASTM, USACE, ISO) to precisely measure air leakage rates.

How does Pulse measure airtightness?

Pulse is used to measure the airtightness of buildings with tests completed in as little as 10 minutes. Measuring directly at low pressure, the system provides an air change rate measurement that is representative of normal inhabited conditions, helping to improve understanding of energy performance as well as background ventilation.

What is the energy storage standard?

The Standard covers a comprehensive review of energy storage systems, covering charging and discharging, protection, control, communication between devices, fluids movement and other aspects.

What are the benefits of using pulse to measure building air tightness?

The key benefit of Pulse is that it provides an air change rate measurement that is representative of normal inhabited conditions, helping to improve understanding of in-use energy performance and true building ventilation needs. Why measure building air tightness using Pulse?

Why should a building be airtight?

By making a building more airtight and incorporating a balanced ventilation strategy, less of the conditioned air is lost through the building enclosure, reducing the load on the mechanical systems. This not only puts less stress on the mechanical systems but also allows for more efficiently sized equipment.

Does BTS provide air tightness testing?

BTS are a manufacturer of air tightness testing equipment and don't directly provide testing as a service ourselves. However, we do host a directory of approved Pulse air tightness companies which you can use to find a local tester in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
