At CleanFinTech, we understand that airtightness is a crucial factor in your home’s performance and efficiency. The quality of a building’s sealing not only affects interior comfort but also energy costs and the environmental health of the space. That’s why we offer an advanced solution to test, seal, and verify your home’s airtightness in a single visit.
Why Is Airtightness Important?
Airtightness in construction is fundamental to ensuring that a home meets energy efficiency standards. Proper sealing minimizes air loss and ensures that the indoor environment remains comfortable and efficient. However, simply stating that a house is sealed is not enough; it needs to be precisely verified.
In Spain, the average air exchange rate in homes is approximately 10 air changes per hour (a/h). This indicates that a significant amount of cool or warm air is constantly being lost, resulting in higher energy consumption to maintain the desired temperature. In contrast, a Passive House must achieve an airtightness rating of less than 0.6 air changes per hour to obtain certification.
At CleanFinTech, we have developed an innovative solution that allows us to quickly and accurately verify and improve a building’s airtightness. In a single visit, through an automated process, we perform the test, seal any potential air leaks, and deliver the Blower Door Certification. It’s that easy, without complications or delays.
