Oliva, a property developer with a project in Walthamstow featuring eight residential units and one commercial plot, found herself in need of air, ventilation, and sound testing to meet building regulations and obtain energy performance certificates (EPCs).

Turning to ATSPACE, a leading provider of building compliance services in the UK, Oliva sought assistance in scheduling the necessary testing. However, ATSPACE had not completed the SAPs or SBEM for the site, prompting them to request design air permeability targets from Oliva. While she successfully located the targets for the residential units, the SBEM for the commercial plot remained unfinished.

With time constraints and testing scheduled within the next 10 days, ATSPACE proposed a solution: arranging the site SBEM using their Out Of Hours service. Oliva agreed to this expedited option, with ATSPACE assigning an experienced assessor to work on her SBEM. Utilising the latest software and best practices, the assessor successfully modeled the commercial plot, ensuring compliance with minimum energy efficiency standards. The SBEM was completed promptly, meeting compliance standards in time for the scheduled testing.

ATSPACE then deployed qualified engineers to conduct air, ventilation, and sound testing for the site. Employing state-of-the-art equipment and adhering to relevant standards and protocols, they measured the building envelope and ventilation system performance. Additionally, ATSPACE provided Oliva with valuable advice on potential improvements.

The testing concluded successfully, with the site meeting all requirements. ATSPACE issued the necessary test certificates and EPCs, submitting them to building control. Oliva expressed her satisfaction with the service and project outcome, commending ATSPACE for their professionalism, efficiency, and quality of work.

Oliva remarked, "ATSPACE was a lifesaver for me. They facilitated the SBEM and testing for my site in a very short time with excellent results. They were friendly, helpful, and reliable. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of building compliance services
