Air testing of non-dwellings

Air Leakage testing is a requirement for all non-dwelling buildings under the England and Wales Building Regulations, Approved Document L2A - Conservation of Fuel and Power. With a few exceptions, all non-dwellings will need to be tested for air tightness compliance, if you are unsure whether your building falls into this category please speak to a member of staff who will be able to let you know.

Is air testing for commercial buildings different to domestic?

The test is conducted in almost the same way as a domestic air tightness test, with different sized fans being used depending on the size of the building.
