Air Tightness Test Newcastle
All new dwellings and non-dwelling developments must undergo a mandatory air permeability test. Contact ERI Energy and plan an air tightness test for your Newcastle property, as this is an important step towards passing those all-important Part L requirements. If your building adheres to the energy efficiency laws, it means it can pass the test.
At ERI Energy, we have engineers specialising in air leakage tests for dwellings and non-dwellings. If you need help to design and build a property optimised for airtightness, we can provide on-going professional advice to ensure the original design and construction process adheres to the airtightness regulations. This eliminates the risk of your building failing an air tightness test.
How can this save you money? Think about a construction contractor or architect who failed to implement the best practices for airtightness. That means they may have missed air leakage paths that may be difficult to fix after the completion of the building. Therefore, you could save a lot of money by having an airtightness experts assess your building process.
Once your building is completed, we can perform an air tightness test in Newcastle, pursuant to Approved Document L1 and L2. At ERI Energy, we understand these building regulations and we can help you determine whether your building is compliant. Our engineers and other members of our team have undergone extensive training in airtightness of both dwellings and non-dwellings. Therefore, they implement the best testing practice.
Newcastle’s Most Accurate Air Tightness Test
The team of professionals at ERI Energy measure a building’s air tightness using the government-recommended pressure differential approach. We pay attention to the relationship between the amount of air passing through the building (leaking) and the amount of air that seeps into the property. The results of an air tightness test are expressed in m3h-1m-2.
In the United Kingdom, every new dwelling must achieve at least 5 m3h-1m-2 to meet the current Building Regulations related to airtightness. Usually, a 3 to 5 m3h-1m-2 is acceptable, but any level below this will suggest that your building is too airtight. Consult our team to accurately determine the level of airtightness of your building and ensure it is regulatory compliant.
Keep in mind that the building regulations implemented recently mandate an air tightness test in Newcastle buildings. These laws are aimed at supporting energy efficiency and ensuring acceptable standards of indoor air. Making sure your building matches the recommended level of air tightness allows for more stable and controlled indoor environment. And that process begins with an air tightness test in UK. Let the ERI Energy team help you determine whether your property has the appropriate airtightness.
