Airtightness CPD with Meshwork

Our director Chris recently presented a webinar with Mesh on their Meshwork community, discussing the importance of air tightness for high performance buildings.

Some of the important areas Chris highlights on airtightness include:

⚡Energy use: Reduction of uncontrolled infiltration means reduction in energy losses, thereby reducing space heating demand and energy bills.

🌡️Occupant comfort: Improved thermal comfort due to reduced draughts.

🧱Keeping building fabric safe: control of air movement means better moisture management, protecting building fabric from moisture build up and associated damage.

📝Airtightness strategy: Define the airtightness strategy early in the design process to inform detailed design and product specification.

✅Execution plan: Develop a plan for onsite installation, sequencing, training contractors, quality assurance and airtightness testing.

🪄Portascanner: Use our airtightness service to monitor effective installation of the airtight barrier throughout the construction process, derisking for the final blower-door test
