Air Tightness Inspections
Identify air leaks and improve energy efficiency with advanced thermal imaging technology
Understanding Air Tightness
Air tightness refers to how well a building's envelope prevents uncontrolled air movement between the interior and exterior. Poor air tightness leads to energy loss, comfort issues, moisture problems, and increased heating and cooling costs.
Our drone-based thermal imaging inspections can identify air leakage points in building envelopes, helping you understand where energy is being lost and what steps can be taken to improve efficiency.
Common Air Leakage Points
Windows & Doors
- • Frame and sash interfaces
- • Weatherstripping gaps
- • Installation gaps
- • Hardware penetrations
Wall Penetrations
- • Electrical outlets and switches
- • Plumbing penetrations
- • HVAC vents and ducts
- • Cable and utility entries
Building Transitions
- • Foundation to wall connections
- • Wall to roof interfaces
- • Floor and ceiling penetrations
- • Expansion joints
Structural Elements
- • Rim joists and band boards
- • Cantilevers and overhangs
- • Balcony connections
- • Thermal bridges
Benefits of Air Tightness Testing
Reduced Energy Costs
Identify and seal air leaks to significantly reduce heating and cooling expenses
Improved Comfort
Eliminate drafts and temperature variations throughout the building
Better Indoor Air Quality
Control air infiltration to improve ventilation effectiveness and air quality
Moisture Control
Prevent moisture infiltration that can lead to mold and structural damage
Code Compliance
Meet building code requirements for air barrier performance
Our Testing Process
Pre-Test Preparation
We coordinate with building operators to prepare the space and ensure optimal testing conditions.
Thermal Imaging Survey
Our drones capture thermal images of the building envelope to identify temperature differentials that indicate air leakage.
Data Analysis
Our experts analyze thermal patterns to identify air leakage locations and assess their severity.
Recommendations
We provide detailed recommendations for sealing air leaks and improving building performance.
