Article 2:
Understanding the principles of Airtightness is an important first step, however, it is equally critical to identify the primary steps to achieving higher levels of Airtightness, in practical terms, on site:

1.   Forethought, planning of works schedule and clear simple design principles;

 2.   Quality control on site and good workmanship with the use of appropriate materials to achieve an airtight seal;

 3. A final measurement which confirms we have achieved the required level of Airtightness which we were aiming for in the first place.
