The brief
-
We completed Full Building Testing & SAP Certification for this pair of homes in Hailsham, East Sussex
-
The Building Testing included Air Tightness Testing, Sound Insulation Testing and Ventilation Testing and the Building Certification included SAP Calculations
-
The Sound Test was an Airborne Wall test
-
To pass an Airborne test for new build properties you must score 45db or hig her
-
Airborne tests measure the difference in sound levels between the receiver room and neighbouring walls or floors
-
If the sound output in the receiver room is 100db and the sound leakage being passed through into the neighbouring room is 40db, then the result would be 60 and therefore would be a pass
The process
- After reviewing drawings, on site testing was ready to be completed. All calibrated equipment was setup in accordance to our strict procedures to ensure the most accurate result possible
