Air Tightness Test Salford
Do you want to make sure that your Building’s airtightness reaches the recommended levels? Call us today and schedule an air tightness test in Salford. Our licenced technicians will provide an accurate appraisal of the specific areas of your building and determine if they meet the threshold set in the Approved Document L (for England properties) or Section 6 of the Building Regulations in Scotland.
In efforts to ensure optimum energy consumption in both dwellings and non-residential properties, the UK government has enacted laws that make an air tightness test a mandatory requirement for all new builds. This test determines whether a building’s envelope is sealed appropriately. A property with optimum airtightness is compliant with Part L of UK’s Building Regulations.
Another benefit of checking your building’s air tightness is that you get detailed report about all possible air leakages and whether your property is energy efficient. Optimum airtightness limits energy loss through leakage. This can save you money through low monthly or annual energy bills. Besides, your HVAC system won’t need to overwork to maintain the right conditions within your building. Work collaboratively with our team to determine whether your property has optimum air tightness.
Cost-Effective Air Tightness Test in Salford
An air permeability aims to assess the conditioned air, whether cooled or heated air that escapes from your Salford property per hour. Indeed, the test verifies if the property is well-insulated to prevent energy loss through uncontrolled ventilation. Note that if your property meets an optimum airtightness level, it means it doesn’t lose a significant amount of heat through gaps in the Building’s envelope.
Since 2006, the Approved Document L1A and Approved Document L2A of the UK’s Building Regulations mandate air leakage testing for all new builds. That means whether you own or manage a commercial or residential property, you need this test. Most property buyers and occupiers ask for an air tightness test certificate.
With our airtightness-related services, you can determine whether your property meets the legal and industry-accepted levels. If it doesn’t, we’ll help you identify the areas that fall below the recommended standards and create a plan to fix them. This will increase the chances of your property passing the next air tightness test in Salford.
