One of the UK's leading testing bodies, Chiltern Dynamics will be promoting a better understanding of the impact of changes to Approved Document L (ADL) on air tightness requirements for all new buildings at Ecobuild 2012. Its Energy Services Department is fully accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), Air Tightness Testing and Measurement Association (ATTMA) and the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) to offer air tightness testing of all building types.

Its knowledgeable engineers will be on hand to answer specific questions on how to prepare for the changes - which require improved air tightness performance and more tests. They will also discuss additional services, including pre-completion sound testing, noise surveys for planning requirements, energy assessments (SAP, SBEM, EPC, BREAM, Code for Sustainable Homes), thermal modelling and thermography.

Head of Energy Services Tom Gregory stressed, 'It is important to consider both acoustics and air permeability when designing buildings. As experts in both sound and energy we can help clients achieve improved performance in sound and air leakage while limiting costs and points of contact.'

Free Technical Information Sheets on both air and sound testing will be available on the stand N1163. Visitors may also register for free webinars on air tightness testing, taking place throughout 2012.

Chiltern Dynamics and its parent Chiltern International Fire are part of the BM TRADA Group.
