Air Tightness Testing
Air Tightness Testing
Air Pressure Testing also known as Air Permeability Testing or Air Tightness Testing, measures the amount of air escaping from a building via uncontrolled means through gaps, cracks and building materials etc.
Air leakage during the cold seasons or windy weather leads to heat loss and increased cold drafts resulting in much higher energy bills. Burning more fossil fuel to keep building warm has direct impact upon the environment as it producing more CO2 emissions.
Part L of the Building Regulation amended on 2006 for new buildings and commercial projects aims to reduce CO2 emissions as part of Government wider initiative for combating climate change by improving energy performance of a building.
Air Leakage effects the energy efficiency of a building, will have a low EPC rating.
Acoustic Testing
Sound Insulation Testing / Acoustic Testing, measures how much noise passes through a wall, partition, ceiling or floor that separates an adjoining dwelling.
Part E of the Building Regulation for England and Wales require that a new dwelling can demonstrate a reasonable level of noise resistance to the passage of sound for both airborne, (such as conversations) and impact noise (such as footsteps). The number of walls and floors that require testing depends on over all size of the dwelling.
