So, air tightness and ventilation go hand in hand. This means that building an airtight house and fitting the correct type of ventilation will allow the homeowners to have control of their property’s ventilation rather than the ventilation being uncontrolled. However, it is important to choose the correct ventilation system to suit the design air tightness of the dwelling. This can seem very complicated, and many developers have fallen foul of the ventilation regulations, which can often result in expensive remedial work.

Ventilation should be seen as part of an integrated design approach when planning an existing or new build. Here at Northern Air Tightness Testing Services, we can advise on the most appropriate ventilation for your specific build. We are also BPEC accredited to commission, test and certify your ventilation system/extractors for your building regulation approval.
