Air Testing in Buildings It is process of monitoring the quality of air in walls of building. The air quality is measured in terms of parameters like Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, and Room Temperature and Humidity levels in buildings.

Testing these four parameters projects the amount of air Leakage in the building structures.

Air leakage is uncontrolled flow of air that persists in gaps and cracks of the building envelopes.

Southern Assessors 

Purpose of Air Testing To check and quantify the extent of the air leakage in the fabric of building envelopes.
