In today’s construction industry, energy efficiency and sustainability are at the forefront of building design and regulation, and one critical aspect of ensuring a building meets energy performance standards is Air Tightness Testing.

At Thermal Image UK we understand that the energy efficiency of a property is crucial for so many reasons. Improving your energy efficiency is not only vital in contributing to reducing your carbon footprint, but also saving you money.

Whether you need an air tightness test on your residential or commercial new build for compliance purposes, or you’re looking to improve the energy efficiency of your building, Retrotec blower door air tightness testing is the way to go.

Ensuring buildings are energy-efficient, sustainable, and compliant with regulations hinges on accurate air tightness testing. Identifying leaks and understanding airflow dynamics helps property owners save on energy costs while reducing environmental impact. Achieving precise results requires reliable tools—and Retrotec stands out as the gold standard in air tightness testing technology.

Thermal Image UK has been a UK agent for Retrotec Blower Door Systems for the past 10 years. Our understanding of the systems available is based on our daily use of the fans, testing across central Scotland. We now have 2x 300 series fans for testing Passivhaus and other very airtight properties, and 8x 6000 series fans for testing houses and large buildings. By using all the 6000 series fans together in parallel, we can test some of the largest buildings in Scotland, with a combined air flow of over 100,000 m3/h.

We are delighted to be attending and exhibiting at the upcoming Homebuilding & Renovating Show at the NEC in Birmingham, 21-24 March 2024. We will have representatives available to provide practical advice on the most appropriate Retrotec equipment to enable you to undertake your work – whether you are starting out or scaling up.
