Our Services – Background Ventilation Testing

​

At AirMetric, we specialise in helping builders, developers, landlords and homeowners ensure their ventilation systems meet UK Building Regulations. Our Background Ventilation Testing service is designed to verify that background ventilation openings provide adequate airflow and support compliance with Building Regulations Part F.

​

What is Background Ventilation Testing?

​

Background ventilation testing measures the airflow provided through background ventilators, such as trickle vents, to confirm that they are providing the required ventilation to habitable rooms and other relevant spaces.

Testing can be carried out on new-build and existing properties where background ventilation forms part of the ventilation strategy.

The results can help demonstrate that the installed ventilation provisions are performing as required and provide useful evidence for Building Control, commissioning and project documentation.
