I can't see how such a test would pinpoint air leakage, only that the whole house only achieves a certain level of air tightness.

I can't see how either are practical for a finished flat, are you on the ground floor at least? Will any of your adjacent neighbours be OK with a load of smoke wafting into their property? What about any air leakage holes that will simply lead to a floor or ceiling void or into the wall cavities etc? I can see that it might have some benefits before the buildings are occupied but not afterwards.

A candle will detect a draught, easy and cheap.

You seem to be ignoring the practicalities of undertaking such a test.

Yes, impractical for all of the reasons in the 4th post in this thread.

Surely a thermal camera is the right way to go?

Thermal cameras only identify the cold spots and I believe a visible observation either captured by video recording and also witnessed by a certified operative will have more credibility.

Yes it will, so where heat is being lost rapidly will show as cold.

Certifications are worth very little here.... who needs to see the certification?
