Air leakage, often referred to as infiltration, is a significant factor affecting the energy efficiency, indoor comfort, and air quality of buildings. At Airxpress Testing, we provide professional building air leakage testing in Canberra, helping property owners identify and address air leaks to achieve optimal building performance.
Benefits of Building Air Leakage Testing
Building air leakage testing involves assessing the airtightness of a building’s envelope by identifying gaps, cracks, or weak points that allow unintentional airflow. This process is crucial for:
- Ensuring compliance with energy efficiency standards
- Reducing energy waste and utility costs
- Enhancing thermal comfort and indoor air quality
- Supporting HVAC system efficiency
Reduced Energy Costs
Air leaks force HVAC systems to work harder, increasing energy consumption. Sealing these leaks leads to significant cost savings.
Improved Comfort
Eliminating drafts ensures consistent indoor temperatures and a more comfortable living or working environment.
Better Indoor Air Quality
Sealing leaks prevents outdoor pollutants, allergens, and moisture from entering the building, improving air quality.
Regulatory Compliance
Air leakage testing helps ensure compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) and other Australian building performance standards.
Increased Building Longevity
Addressing air leaks reduces moisture infiltration, preventing potential structural damage and mold growth.

How We Perform Air Leakage Testing
Our air leakage testing process involves the use of specialized equipment and techniques, including:
Blower Door Testing
We use blower door systems to pressurize and depressurize the building, measuring the rate of air leakage and identifying weak points.
Smoke Testing
We use smoke pens or fog machines to trace air movement, pinpointing gaps, cracks, or poorly sealed areas.
Detailed Reporting
After testing, we provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings and offering actionable recommendations to improve airtightness.
