Overview
This guide has been superseded by BG 46/2015 Domestic Ventilation Systems - A guide to measuring airflow rates
With the improvements in dwelling airtightness over the past few years, and increased use of systems such as Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), getting the ventilation right in dwellings has become more critical. In 2010, a requirement for mechanical ventilation air flow rate testing in dwellings was written into the England & Wales Building Regulations.
Contents include:
- Types of ventilation systems
- Performance requirements
- Design and installation
- Airflow measurement – conditional and unconditional methods
- Testing and commissioning
The test work to support the methodology recommended in this guide was undertaken independently by BSRIA. Read report
