Airtightness Testing and

Infrared Thermography

We provide specialist building performance testing to measure airtightness and assess how buildings perform in practice.

Our services support homeowners, architects, consultants and builders with measured data and informed observations on air leakage and heat loss patterns using independent, non-destructive testing methods.


How Testing Can Help

Whether you are investigating a specific issue or working on a high-performance project, testing provides measured data and observations to better understand how a building is performing.

  • Measure air leakage using airtightness (blower door) testing

  • Identify insulation irregularities and heat loss areas

  • Locate air movement and leakage pathways

  • Support quality assurance and certification with independent data


Why It Matters

Poor building performance can lead to:

  • Heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer

  • Higher heating and cooling costs

  • Uneven temperatures and reduced comfort

  • Increased risk of condensation and moisture-related issues

Testing helps make these conditions visible so informed decisions can be made about improving comfort and reducing energy use.


What Problems We Help Solve

Building performance testing is often used to investigate issues that are difficult to diagnose through visual inspection alone.

If your building is not performing as expected, testing can help clarify what is happening.

  • Why is my home so draughty?

  • Why are my energy bills higher than expected?

  • Why are some rooms colder than others?

  • Why does my home lose heat so quickly?

  • Why is condensation forming on walls or ceilings?

These situations are often linked to air leakage, insulation irregularities or moisture conditions, factors that are not always obvious and require further investigation.

Airtightness Testing

Measure air leakage and identify where conditioned air is escaping or outside air is entering the building.

Thermal Imaging

Identify heat loss, insulation issues and areas of temperature variation that may affect comfort and energy use.

Building Performance Testing

Independent testing for high-performance projects, including airtightness and thermal diagnostics.

Who We Work With

Homeowners looking to improve comfort and reduce energy costs

Builders and contractors seeking quality assurance

Designers and consultants verifying building performance

Certifiers requiring measured data for compliance or documentation

When Testing Is Useful

During construction to identify issues early

At completion to document performance

When investigating high energy use or comfort concerns

For high-performance or certification-driven projects

Who I am

I have a background in architecture, with around 20 years of experience across a wide range of projects.

My work is shaped by a long-standing interest in how buildings perform in use – how they are experienced by the people who occupy them and how they behave under real conditions over time.

Through testing and observation, I aim to make building performance clearer and easier to understand.
