Air tightness testing of buildings


air tightness test imageRecent changes to Part L have significantly increased the number of buildings that will need to be air pressure tested to comply with Building Regulations.
 
Chiltern Dynamics have produced this Technical Information sheet to explain:
  • What air tightness is
  • Why it is important
  • The testing process
  • The performance requirements
  • The regulatory requirements (eg sampling regimes)
  • What happens if the building fails
Chiltern Dynamics offers air tightness testing as well as design advice and remedial consultancy. We regularly also offer demonstration/training to explain air tightness, either as a half-day public course or in-house.
