Your airtightness test in Strasbourg
The Eurométropole accounts for a large share of new construction in the Bas-Rhin, with apartment developments subject to regulatory sampling and large commercial buildings. We carry out intermediate and final tests, with several fans when needed.
Our references in and around Strasbourg include the University of Strasbourg staff centre, EPSAN, INET (CNFPT), the CAF du Bas-Rhin and the SDEA headquarters. Social landlords such as CUS Habitat and Habitat de l’Ill trust us.
Since 2022, RE2020 has required an air permeability test by a Qualibat 8711 qualified operator at the end of construction. The result must meet the thermal study, up to a maximum of 0.6 m³/(h.m²) for a house and 1.0 m³/(h.m²) for an apartment building. All about the airtightness test.

How your test in Strasbourg works
1. Quote
You tell us the type of building, the floor area, the air permeability value used in the RE2020 thermal study and the planned completion date.
2. Preparation
We send you the list of points to check before our visit: ventilation system installed, windows and doors adjusted, duct and service penetrations sealed.
3. On-site measurement
The blower door is fitted in an exterior door or window and the building is depressurised. We show you the leaks with a smoke puffer, or with a thermal camera if needed.
4. Report
Measurement report according to NF EN ISO 9972 and FD P50-784, with the turnkey RE2020 certificate to attach to your completion declaration (DAACT).
The projects we test across the Strasbourg Eurometropolis
Detached houses and extensions
New builds on the outskirts of Strasbourg, timber-frame houses, extensions: the weak points are often window junctions, the loft hatch and electrical conduits. An intermediate test before the plasterboard goes up lets you fix them at lower cost. Testing for detached houses.
Apartment buildings
Developer and social housing programmes in the new districts of Strasbourg and neighbouring towns: we organise the sampling of dwellings to be measured and the test of a sample dwelling during construction. Testing in apartment buildings.
Offices, schools and commercial buildings
Business parks, industrial estates and public buildings in the Eurometropolis: large volumes require several fans and careful preparation of the junctions between walls, windows and structure. What RE2020 requires for commercial buildings.
Renovation and leak detection
In older houses and buildings, infrared thermography and ultrasonic leak detection pinpoint air leaks before or after works. Infrared thermography.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an airtightness test cost in Strasbourg?
The price depends on the floor area, the complexity of the building and the number of tests. For a house, an apartment building or a commercial building, request a quote.
How soon can you come?
We can usually come within 48 h depending on our schedule, and the report is delivered within 24 to 48 h after the test.
When should the test be planned?
We recommend an intermediate test before the plasterboard goes up, then the mandatory final test once construction is finished and ventilation installed.
What happens if the test fails?
We show you the leaks during the measurement. Once the repairs are done, a new test gives a result that complies with the thermal study.
Which documents should you send us?
The RE2020 thermal study (or at least the air permeability value used), the plans and the floor areas of the building. For an apartment building, the list of dwellings and their types.
Is the intermediate test mandatory?
No, only the final test is. But the intermediate test, carried out once insulation and membrane are in place, is the best way to avoid a failure at completion.
