Technical Services

Where Robust Details have not been adopted, on site testing is required in order to confirm the acoustic performance of the building.  Working with a network of UKAS Accredited specialists, Technical Services will arrange for the necessary testing to conform to the requirements of Building Regulations.

The air tightness / air permeability of a building is a measure of its energy efficiency. The air tightness is used to confirm the target emission rate (TER) used in the SAP calculations. Working with a network of UKAS Accredited specialists, Technical Services will arrange for the necessary testing to conform to the requirements of Building Regulations

It is a legal requirement to meet the minimum standards for air tightness detailed within Approved Document L. Demonstrating evidence of higher levels of air tightness than are actually required in Approved Document L can be a valuable selling point, especially where a building’s green credentials are important.

During the design stages of developments, particularly in densely populated urban environments, assessments are often required by planners to ensure noise comfort from external sources can be achieved. Once again by working UKAS Accredited specialists, Technical Services will arrange for the necessary investigations and reports to be compiled.
