THE PROCESS

  • After reviewing drawings, on site testing was ready to be completed. In accordance with our strict air tightness testing procedure, all calibrated equipment was setup to ensure the most accurate result possible
  • Due to the size of the property (almost 1900m2 envelope area), the test was estimated to be a multiple fan test. However, after beginning the test it was apparent that only a single fan was needed because of the high quality of the build
