The brief
- UK Building Compliance conducted Complete Building Compliance for this large 6 bed, 3 floor property in Surrey - we completed SAP Calculations& Water Efficiency Calculations and Air Tightness& Ventilation Testing
The process
- The initial Air Tests carried out were problematic - we carried out some diagnostics with the customer and located the root of the problem in an air leakage point which was sealed up
- The initial Ventilation Tests were also troublesome - more diagnostics were conducted and we discovered the length of the flexy ducting was too long and this was causing unwanted trapped air
- We shortened all the flexy ducting to enable all the vents to extract the correct amount of air in litres per second
The results
