A consortium comprising of Environmental Process Systems (EPS), the University of Nottingham (UoN), AND Technology Research (ANDtr), Absolute Air & Gas (AAG), Elmhurst Energy Systems (EES) and the National Energy Foundation (NEF) are developing a more efficient, accurate and assessor and occupant friendly means of determining the air tightness properties of existing dwellings. This will help improve the accuracy of baseline performance assessments as well as the applicability and impact modelling of upgrade recommendations. The new instrumentation will also make airtightness performance and compliance checks more accessible and will fundamentally shift the existing air tightness testing market from a small scale specialist service offering to one where assessors, advice providers, retrofit installers, contractors and building control can all undertake leakage assessments themselves – permitting regular screening throughout the retrofit process and accellarating the development of more effective methods for improving and managing airtightness and ventilation.

一个由环境过程系统（EPS）、诺丁汉大学（UoN）、AND Technology Research （ANDtr）、Absolute Air & Gas （AAG）、Elmhurst能源系统（EES）和国家能源基金会（NEF）组成的联盟正在开发一种更有效、准确、评估者和居住者友好的方法来确定现有住宅的气密性特性。这将有助于提高基线绩效评估的准确性，以及改进建议的适用性和影响建模。新仪器还将使气密性性能和合规性检查更容易获得，并将从根本上改变现有的气密性测试市场，从小规模的专业服务提供到评估人员、咨询提供商、改造安装人员、承建商和楼宇控制部门都可以自行进行泄漏评估，从而在整个翻新过程中进行定期筛选，并加快开发更有效的方法来改善和管理密封性和通风。
