Fan:
Incorporating sensors, gently taking air in or out of the building, giving 10 (min 7) readings at different pressures, the fan measuring the airflow, which equates to the UNCONTROLLED airflow of the building.
Trickle vents, open windows/doors, bathroom/kitchen extractors are controlled airflow.
The readings are put into the computer software, along with inside and outside temperatures, outside windspeed, barometric pressure, taken before and after the test.
The result will be given by the computer and determined by the AIR TIGHTNESS OF THE BUILDING.
