Reliable Air Tightness Test in Burnley
If your property does not meet the strict UK Building Regulations, we will provide a detailed report highlighting the areas of your property that need repairs or remodelling. Our team comprises certified architects and engineers with decades of experience in performing air permeability tests and ensuring buildings, whether commercial or residential, meet all relevant Building Regulations.
An air leakage assessment has become a mandatory requirement in the UK in recent decades. It ensures all commercial and residential buildings of certain sizes meet satisfactory levels of air tightness. This test is a mandatory requirement of Part L of the UK’s Building Regulations. Over the decades, air leakage testing has increasingly become important to help ensure energy efficiency and reduce the cost of indoor heating and cooling.
In addition, air tightness testing of Burnley properties helps determine which specific buildings meet or don’t meet the Building Regulations. This makes it possible for our team to provide practical recommendations on the right upgrades to ensure your commercial or residential building matches the recommended air tightness.
Eventually, having most or all buildings meet to pass the air permeability test means these properties are energy efficient and have a limited carbon footprint. One way to improve your building’s energy efficiency is to minimise energy loss.
So, how do we perform an air tightness test? At ERI Energy, we follow a legally-approved approach to air permeability tests to ensure reliable and comprehensive test results. We believe that a deep understanding of your property type, purpose, structure, and compliance requirements is the foundation for an accurate air leakage test. The information shared during the initial free consultation will help us customise the entire testing process.
Once we get detailed information about your property, our team will begin by preparing your building for air tightness testing. For instance, we’ll seal all ventilation openings like air vents and chimneys. We’ll will handle the entire building preparation process so you can focus on other tasks rather than of worrying about your building’s air leakage testing.
Next, we will install the blower door testing equipment, like a big fan. This fan will pressurise your property while our testers record the pressure difference. If there’s air flowing in their cracks or other openings, our team will detect it. To determine the air tightness of your property, our team will depressurize the property to -60Pa and use an anemometer to check the internal pressure and external pressure and determine how hard the fans must work to maintain the pressure difference.
