If the Air Test fails to meet the required standard for the Target Air Permeability Rate – our engineer will immediately inform the nominated site contact to discuss his findings and offer to identify areas of concern that may be causing the failure.
Normally, this would take the form of a walk and talk through the building to identify the engineers concerns with a recommended course of remedial action e.g. sealing of gaps between skirting boards and floor.
Often, by agreement, minor areas of concern can be rectified on the day and the engineer will undertake a re-test of the building to see if it will meet the required standard.
Alternatively, ATSPACE will be happy to produce a written report – outlining the areas of concern together with annotated photographs – so that the client can undertake the required remedial action and then book a re-test at a later date.
