A duct leakage test is a procedure conducted to assess the efficiency and integrity of a building's HVAC ductwork system. The test involves pressurising or depressurising the duct system to measure the extent of air leakage. Properly sealed and insulated ducts are essential for energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and the overall performance of the HVAC system.

Benefits of Duct Leakage Testing:

• Energy Efficiency: Identifying and sealing duct leaks helps prevent the loss of conditioned air, improving the overall energy efficiency of the HVAC system.
• Indoor Air Quality: Sealing leaks prevents the infiltration of unconditioned air, dust, and contaminants, contributing to better indoor air quality.
• Comfort Improvement: Properly sealed ducts ensure that conditioned air reaches the intended spaces, enhancing comfort levels throughout the building.
• Compliance: Duct leakage testing may be required to comply with building codes, energy efficiency standards, or certification programs.
• Cost Savings: Improved energy efficiency and reduced heating and cooling loads can result in cost savings on energy bills.
