Testing & Renting
Our Testing and Renting options
At Zero Energy, we are committed to providing a comprehensive range of testing services designed to ensure the highest standards of building performance and energy efficiency.
Our offerings include non-destructive tests essential for both construction phases and completed structures, enabling you to make informed decisions and improvements. In addition to our expertise in blower door testing, thermal imaging, U-value calculations, and acoustic measurements, we also offer flexible renting options for our state-of-the-art equipment, empowering you to conduct assessments at your convenience.
With our in-house training, you can confidently operate the tools and interpret the results, making it easier than ever to optimise your building’s performance and achieve your sustainability goals.
Blower Door – Standard
Blowerdoor Standard is an all-encompassing solution for evaluating airtightness tailored for larger buildings, delivering accurate measurements that pinpoint air leakage areas and enhance energy efficiency.
Our offerings encompass Blower door testing in accordance with BS ISO 9972 and 13829, assessment of room fire integrity, and in-situ testing of air permeability through window and door joints.
We provide equipment rentals that allow you to assess the building at your convenience, complemented by in-house training to effectively operate the Blower Door fan and interpret the results of the testing process.
Blower Door – Mini Fan
The Blowerdoor Mini is a compact yet powerful tool meticulously engineered to measure building airtightness with exceptional precision, making it the perfect choice for a wide range of smaller projects or buildings that require reliable and accurate assessments.
Thermal imaging
We use top-tier thermal imaging cameras to detect and visualise your building’s heat loss, insulation defects, and thermal bridges. This not only helps identify potential energy wastage areas but also aids in formulating strategies for improved energy efficiency. Our thermal imaging services are a non-invasive and effective way to ensure your building is well-insulated and energy-optimized.
Our Thermal Imaging service uses advanced cameras to detect heat loss, insulation defects, and thermal bridges in your building. This non-invasive method provides a visual representation of your building’s energy efficiency, helping to identify areas for improvement.
In-situ U-value calculation
Do you want to know how well insulated (or not!) your wall is?
Are you planning a deep retrofit, but you are not sure about the quality of your build-ups?
We can help you. With our cutting-edge equipment, we run U-value and R-value on-site measures for your existing walls, doors and windows according to ISO 9869 and ASTM 31046/C1155 verified software.
Acoustic Camera
Leak detection is made easier for building acoustics with the Sorama CAM iV64 sound camera. By visualizing a wide frequency range, air leaks on the building fabric are easy to detect.
Airtightness testing using Sorama CAM iV64 is a new technology that enables you to show both highly accurate sound levels and localize where sound is coming from on the 7-inch touch display. In this way, the users can perform the in-field leakage measurements with mobility to get instant, reliable acoustic information.
