Pressurisation

The process of increasing air pressure inside a building relative to the outside. This can be achieved during a blower door test to identify air leakage points.

Heat Transfer Coefficient (U-Value)

The Heat Transfer Coefficient, known as U-Value, measures a material’s ability to conduct heat. Learn how it’s calculated, its significance in building insulation, and how lower U-Values contribute to energy-efficient and sustainable construction.

Noise Pollution

Noise pollution is the presence of excessive or disruptive noise in the environment, causing adverse effects on human health and the ecosystem. It’s a growing concern in urban areas and industrial settings.

Airflow Capture Hood

An Airflow Capture Hood is a device used to measure and quantify airflow rates in HVAC systems, enabling assessment of system performance and optimisation of air distribution. Explore its features, applications, and benefits for optimal system operation.

Soundproofing Standards in the UK

Soundproofing standards in the UK are a set of regulations and guidelines that ensure effective noise control in buildings and urban environments. They address both new construction and renovations, focusing on reducing sound transmission and protecting residents from unwanted noise.
