Air leakage testing is considered by some as another government interference, another regulation that costs the builder time and money. In fact proving the Airtightness of your properties can actually increase your net profitability for two reasons.

1st - By adhering to best building practices and entering a lower permiability rate in the SAP calculations there will be less need for over compensation with expensive thermal materials and you will reduce the overall building cost.

2nd - If by means of an airtightness test certificate you can demonstrate that your building has achieved the lowest possible air tightness rating customers will usually tend to pay more for a house that costs less to heat. Air Tightness Testing is perhaps the most practical example of a quality build.
