ATTMA, the Air Tightness Testing & Measurement Association has introduced mandatory lodgement for all members, representing over 140 companies and over 350 test engineers across the UK.
Barry Cope
A new low pressure ‘quasi-steady’ pulse technique for determining the airtightness of buildings has been developed further and compared with the standard blower-door technique for field-testing a range of typical UK homes.
Edward Cooper, Xiaofeng Zheng, Christopher Wood, Mark Gillot, David Tetlow, Saffa Riffat, Lia De Simon
Since 2006, the French Energy Performance regulation, named RT, has been allowing two ways to justify building airtightness: either with a measurement or with the application of a quality management approach.
Sandrine Charrier, Jocelyne Ponthieux
The zero pressure compensation method has proven to be the best method to measure air flow rates accurately although it also has be shown that the accuracy depends on the type of air terminal device and how and where the pressure to be compensated
N.J. Bink, Peter Lok, W.V. Struik
Mastering building airtightness is essential to meet the requirements of current and future building codes, not only for saving energy but also for ensuring moisture safety.
Clément Belleudy, Monika Woloszyn, Matthieu Cosnier
Since 2000, the French EP-calculations have been considering thermal losses due to building envelope airtightness.
Adeline Bailly, Gaëlle Guyot, Valérie Leprince
