Air Tightness Test Huddersfield

The introduction of air leakage guidelines for properties has made air permeability assessments mandatory in the United Kingdom. In fact, England has become the first country worldwide to enforce mandatory air tightness tests for every apartment or building. This eliminates the complex rules for building sampling.

Since the new law went into effect in June 2022, ERI Energy has been busy helping clients conduct an air tightness test for every Huddersfield property. We have conducted air leakage tests for buildings that are not considered dwellings, including extensions being used as new buildings. Note that our team understands exceptions to these requirements, and we will advise you accordingly.

An air tightness test plays a key role in improving a building’s overall energy efficiency, compliance with building regulations, and internal thermal comfort. The air leakage report that we provided afterwards highlights your home’s airtightness level. It also provides detailed information about any issues contributing to air leakage out of your property.

If your building doesn’t meet the air tightness requirements, that doesn’t mean it can never pass. We’ll help identify all areas that need to be upgraded or repaired. If we rectify such issues, you can successfully optimise your building’s air tightness and prevent air leakage-related issues. At ERI Energy, we provide reliable and affordable services for any air tightness test in Huddersfield.

For more than a decade, the UK government has been on a quest to eliminate energy poverty and lower carbon emissions countrywide. That’s why some laws intended to optimise energy consumption are being implemented. One of those laws is the Building Regulations, which guide the construction process of dwellings and non-dwelling to ensure higher energy efficiency. As such, an air tightness test in Huddersfield is a mandatory requirement under Part L of the UK’s Building Regulations.
