New build in Worcestershire with a priority being to keep this build with a very low energy consumption for the clients.
Important things like keeping this airtight as possible along with PV solar, Air source Heat pump and MVHR mechanical ventilation and heat recovery.
Air Tightness testing (also known as Airflow, Air leakage, Blower door test or Air Permeability testing) is an essential requirement for new homes in order to comply with 'Part L' of the Building Regulations. This measures if or where the air is escaping or entering the property in uncontrolled ways, whilst ventilation is taking into account.
Another important reason to have an Airflow test is the impact air leakage would have on the building's EPC (Energy Performance Certificate). An EPC is where the energy efficiency of the building is measured. Measuring the Airflow will indicate whether the property's insulation and the building have been sealed correctly.
