Air Tightness Testing
Building Enclosure Air Tightness Testing (Blower Door Testing) is a new and emerging trend in domestic, commercial, and Industrial buildings throughout Australia. The benefits have been well established in parts of Europe and the Americas for many years and is now being recognised in Australia.
Vining Air has been a NEBB HVAC Commissioning Company for many years and have recently achieved ATTMA (UK standard) and NEBB (Building Enclosure Testing) certification for air tightness testing.

Under Floor Air Distribution (UFAD)
UFAD displacement ventilation consists (typically) of a raised access floor being used as a pressurised plenum for air distribution.
Plenum integrity and sealing is critical in the design, construction, and delivery of an under floor air delivery (UFAD) system. The entire team from design, construction, fitout and testing need to do their part to ensure the under floor plenum is air tight. Vining Air can assist in making sure all parties are working together to achieve the desired result.
Duct Leakage Testing
Duct leakage Testing was a regular requirement years back but fell out of favour with the advent of automated duct construction. Leakage testing is now back on the agenda with ever increasing energy costs and the desire for improved energy efficiencies.
Australian Standard AS 4254.2 2012 lists detailed air leakage test requirements. With specialist Duct Leakage Test Fans, Vining Air has the experience to assist clients in this area.
Infrared Thermal Scanning
Infrared Thermal scanning is a relatively new tool used for determining and locating air & thermal leaks during the Building Enclosure Air Tightness testing process.
Thermal scanning is a non-contact and non-destructive test process that identifies air leaks and thermal leaks with minimal disruption to occupants.
Vining Air holds AINDT Level 1 Infrared Thermographer Certification.
