Under revised building regulations which came into force in Dec 2011, air tightness testing is mandatory for all new dwellings.
The aim of the testing is to reduce energy losses from the dwelling in the form of air leakage. An initial air tightness test as soon as the airtight layer is fully installed allows builders to locate possible air leakage points. Air tightness tests help comply with Part L compliance.
These tests are sometimes called Blow Door tests ( although we do consider this somewhat dramatic) or Blower door testing.
air tests
Air tests are critical in identifying the air pressure rate and so are imperative in Air compliance to the regulations.With guidance and direction from the air tightness tester, these areas of unwanted leakage can be reduced or eliminated completely. A final test is then carried out .
