Air Tightness TestingDid You Know That?

 

 

  • At 370ppm, atmospheric CO2 concentrations are at their highest for at least 420,000 years.
  • As recently as 1958 they were just 315ppm.
  • CO2 concentrations have increased over 35% since 1750
  • UN Scientists warn that if 400ppm is exceeded “the risks to human societies and eco-systems increase significantly”.
  • It is calculated that to halt global warming, greenhouse gas emissions need to be cut to 60% below 1990 levels.
  • 40% of the UK’s Carbon Emissions from human activity are related to the operation of buildings.
  • A US study found that improving the air-tightness of an office building in Minneapolis would yield a 37% saving in energy usage.
  • UK studies have found that improving the air-tightness of dwellings can yield energy savings of between 15% to 30%
