Airtightness Consultancy

Engaging an Airtightness Consultant early in the design process is essential for achieving your target results. By involving us at Stage 3 of your project, we can provide insightful advice during the initial design phase, working closely with architects, designers, and engineers. As the project progresses into Stage 4, our consultants continue to offer detailed reviews and recommendations, ensuring that airtightness considerations are fully integrated into the construction plans.

Our role extends beyond just providing advice. We conduct thorough reviews of architectural drawings, paying close attention to every detail that may impact airtightness. Our consultants identify potential problem areas and offer practical, cost-effective solutions to mitigate any risks. We work collaboratively with your design team to ensure that all details are robust, compliant with regulations, and designed to meet your specific airtightness targets.

At Strairt, we believe in proactive, precision-driven consultancy. With our expertise, your project will not only meet but exceed airtightness standards, setting a benchmark for quality and efficiency. Let us be your essential partner in delivering airtight success for your next building project.

Airtightness Line Commenting

The airtightness consultant’s role involves evaluating the positioning and integrity of the detailing to ensure the airtightness line is both robust and continuous. This means they will assess how well components fit together and how effectively they seal the building envelope to prevent air leakage. The consultant looks for any gaps, weaknesses, or potential breaches in the airtightness line, ensuring that it forms a continuous barrier around the building. Their input is crucial for optimizing energy efficiency, reducing risks, and enhancing the overall thermal performance of the structure by maintaining a consistent and reliable airtight seal.

Connecting Detailing to the Program

The airtightness consultant works closely with the construction team to integrate the airtightness line into the project, aligning the strategy with the construction plan and ensuring that the airtightness barrier remains intact throughout the build. This proactive approach supports energy efficiency, compliance with regulations, and long-term performance.

Comment on Materials

The airtightness consultant evaluates proposed materials for the project, identifies any that may compromise airtightness, and provides expert feedback on weak or unsuitable materials. They recommend alternatives that better meet the project’s airtightness goals, aligning with both the client’s expectations and the contractor’s targets. This process optimizes the building’s energy efficiency and performance while ensuring compliance with relevant standards and regulations.
