im体育APP’s air barrier testing services ensure that materials and accessories that encompass an air barrier system operate as indented, providing a continuous barrier to the movement of air through the building enclosure, resisting wind pressure loads and the environmental conditions they will be exposed to for the lifespan of the building.
With 今天’s high cost of energy, air barrier systems have become a critical design component, especially in high-performance buildings. 没有有效的, 连续空气屏障系统, outside air may enter a building uncontrollably through gaps and cracks in the building envelope, reducing the building performance. Even small discontinuities in an air barrier may lead to indoor air quality problems, 不必要的能源消耗, 过多的水分, and discomfort for the occupants.
Our experts test air barrier systems in terms of 空气泄漏, 渗水, wind resistance, thermal performance, 声学, 抗震性能, and structural adequacy to give you the certainty that they are fit for purpose and durable to function as intended for their designed service life.
Hassle-free testing for a wide range of products
A full range of test services is available to evaluate the performance of both air barrier materials and assemblies, including products sold as sheets, 液敷膜和 喷涂聚氨酯泡沫 that are manufactured from organic fibers or synthetic plastics, pre-assembled or site-constructed.
Fast, accurate testing to multiple standards
Due to their performance and energy-saving features, various building codes in North America mandate air barriers to be incorporated into building designs. im体育APP’s experts conduct air barrier testing in compliance with the Canadian and American standards including:
- ASTM E2178
