“The Building Regulations require that air tightness testing is carried out on all new buildings in accordance with the ATTMA TS1 testing procedure”.
WHAT IS AIR TIGHTNESS TESTING?
Air tightness testing is the procedure that quantifies the extent to which buildings ‘leak’ air through their envelopes. Air leakage is a vehicle for heat loss & energy wastage resulting in increased space heating & cooling loads by the constant uncontrolled flow of air through the building fabric. We possess the training, expertise & accreditation through BINDT to carry out the procedure and provide certified results acceptable to Building Control Authorities.
