5 Types of Whole Building
Air-Tightness Tests

1

Qualitative Test

This test can be performed at the mock-up stage, during construction or as part of final testing to identify air leakage paths.

This test is most effective when done early in the construction phase because it uses visual indicators to locate air leakage paths.

2

Quantitative Test

This test is performed at the end of a project to verify compliance or identify leaks. 

It’s not recommended that you rely solely on this test because it may be difficult to address leaks found at the end of a project.

3

Building Envelope Test

This is an airtightness test intended to test only the air barrier of a building. 

All intentional openings in the building, like windows and doors, must be closed or sealed to perform this test.

4

Operational Test

This test evaluates the airtightness of the building envelope as it would be while in use. 

This means all HVAC-related openings are left as found or closed but not sealed.

5

Whole Building Airtightness Test

This tests the entire building enclosure.

All spaces in the building must be simultaneously pressurized or depressurized to create a single-zone condition for testing.
