Smoke pencil testing is a fast, effective, and affordable method for identifying air leakage through the building envelope. In accordance with ASTM E1186, this technique uses visible smoke to trace airflow and pinpoint leakage points across seams, penetrations, and construction transitions.
A smoke pencil releases a thin, controlled stream of visible vapor. When used with natural or induced pressure differentials—such as those created by negative or positive air pressure, it visually reveals air movement through gaps in the air barrier system.
