Excellent interest

Anyone who had an understanding of the importance of airtightness and the new building regulations was very glad to find a professional airtightness tester at the show.

Visitors ranged from designers and developers through to committed self builders.

Most people were just interested to see what was involved, and find out how testing would affect them.

Discussions showed the benefits of airtightness by reducing energy wastage and reducing carbon emissions.

This is no surprise as the driving force in the new regulations is to provide homeowners with energy efficient housing.

So when the time for your airtightness test comes remember that a good result helps improve the energy rating of the building which will be a valuable selling point if you ever decide to move.
