Building Air Leakage

What Is Building Air Leakage and Why Does It Matter?​

Air leakage in buildings refers to the unregulated and unintentional movement of air between gaps and openings in the building’s structure. This movement of air directly impacts a building’s energy efficiency and leads to wasted energy. At its most severe, air leakage can significantly drive-up energy costs, cause inconsistencies in interior temperature and compromise air quality. In this blog, Blue Green Engineering explores the causes of air leakage and the ways in which it can be managed for sustainability and efficiency in New South Wales.
