Air Permeability in Modular Buildings
Air permeability tests are designed to measure the integrity of a modular building from an air tightness perspective using pressure differentiation techniques. Air leakage typically occurs through gaps and holes in the building fabric and this uncontrolled ventilation affects the building in various ways. By reducing air leakage, buildings can be heated more efficiently to [...]
