Prior to a test being carried out all ventilation systems must be switched off and sealed to the outside to avoid unnecessary air loss that can disrupt the results. Drainage taps, such as a toilet bowl, should be filled with water as air can also escape down here where it normally wouldn't when the property is complete. Other areas such as letter boxes, key holes, cat flaps and loft hatches should not be sealed as these will remain "open" when occupied.
What's involved in an Air Test in Wakefield?
An air test involves placing a large fan, or several fans, to an opening within the property; usually a doorway. The fans will increase and decrease in speed that will in turn change the building's air pressure and record the results. An air test cannot be carried out if wind speed is more than 13mph ; 3 metres per second is the ideal wind speed when undertaking an air test in Wakefield.
