Smoke generators are used in combination
with fan pressurisation , to help identify air leakage
paths, should the building fail the air leakage test.
A fan pressurisation unit blows the
smoke out through any holes, gaps or cracks in the
external building envelope, rendering the air paths
visible. Smoke leaking from the building can be seen
outside, and photographed to provide a record of
external leakage paths.
Smoke tests are ideal for identifying generic areas of
air leakage.
On the day of the air leakage test
(should the building fail) we will try to help find the
leaks by providing one full building smoke test free of
charge.
