Importance of Air Permeability Testing for Energy Efficiency
The thermal performance of a building is significantly affected by air leakage. Air permeability testing is a key method for identifying these inefficiencies. By testing for air leaks, you can:
Lower heating and cooling costs by reducing energy loss.
Enhance the overall thermal comfort for occupants.
Extend the lifespan of HVAC systems by reducing strain.

How BEO Ltd Ensures Energy Efficiency Through Air Tightness
With state-of-the-art equipment, our team identifies even the smallest air leaks in your building’s structure. We use calibrated blower doors to pressurise or depressurise the building and measure how much air is lost. This data is then used to recommend improvements, making your building more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Our service is tailored to meet New Zealand’s specific energy regulations and standards.
Air Leakage Testing for Warehouses, Factories, or Supermarkets
Air leakage testing is critical for large commercial spaces like warehouses and factories. At BEO Ltd, we specialise in detecting air leaks in these challenging environments, ensuring that your facility is performing at its best.
Identifying Air Leakage in Large Commercial Spaces
Warehouses and factories often experience significant air leakage due to their size and complex structural requirements. Our blower door testing service identifies:
Leaks around doors and windows.
Leaks in the building’s envelope, including roof and wall junctions.
Hidden air gaps in poorly insulated areas.
By addressing these issues, you can significantly reduce the energy required to heat or cool your space.
Improving Air Tightness to Reduce Energy Costs in Warehouses
Improving the air tightness of your warehouse or factory means lowering your overall energy costs. Our team will guide you through the process, from the initial blower door test to implementing the necessary changes that make a difference.
Achieving Energy Compliance for Commercial Buildings
As energy regulations in New Zealand become more stringent, ensuring that your commercial building complies with these standards is critical. BEO Ltd offers energy compliance testing, helping you stay ahead of regulations while optimising your building’s energy performance.
Meeting New Zealand's Energy Compliance Standards
New Zealand’s Building Code Clause H1 outlines specific requirements for energy efficiency in commercial buildings. Our blower door testing services ensure that your building meets these standards, and improve your building’s sustainability rating.
We also offer blower door testing for Homestar, Green Star, NABERSNZ, and Passive House certifications, providing you with the documentation needed to prove your building’s compliance with national and international standards.
How Blower Door Testing Contributes to Energy Compliance
Blower door testing provides the data you need to prove that your building is airtight and energy-efficient. This is especially important for achieving compliance with building regulations that mandate specific energy performance levels for commercial properties.

example buildings
Commercial
Office Buildings: Energy efficiency is critical for maintaining comfort and reducing operational costs.
Retail Centres and Shopping Malls: Optimising energy use across large areas with diverse heating and cooling requirements.
Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities: High energy demand and specific air quality standards make these buildings prime candidates for testing.
Educational Institutions: Schools, universities, and libraries that need to meet energy efficiency targets.
Industrial
Factories: Large spaces with complex machinery that demand efficient heating and cooling systems.
Warehouses and Distribution Centres: Often with large open spaces, these require blower door testing to identify leaks.
Cold Storage Facilities: Airtightness is critical to maintaining low temperatures and minimising energy waste.
Manufacturing Plants: Energy-intensive sites that benefit from reduced air leakage to improve cost efficiency.
…and many more
Hotels and Hospitality Venues: Energy efficiency is a major cost factor for hotels and resorts.
Public Buildings: Government offices, museums, archives and cultural institutions that must adhere to strict energy regulations.
High-Rise Commercial Buildings: Large office towers and mixed-use buildings where airtightness is vital to controlling energy use.
Shopping Centres: Large retail spaces requiring compliance with energy standards for ventilation and heating/cooling.
warehouses
General Warehouses: Used for storage, these buildings need testing to minimise energy waste and protect stored goods.
Logistics and Fulfilment Centres: Similar to warehouses but often larger and with complex layouts that can lead to air leakage.
Assembly Plants: Where products are put together, these facilities can benefit from reduced air leakage to maintain internal conditions.
Agricultural Storage: Facilities used to store crops or other agricultural products, where controlled climates are essential.
