Consultants in Air Tightness Testing, Energy Assessment, Acoustic Design & Control

Eco Technology specialises in addressing the requirements outlined in Part L1A, Part L2B, Part E, Part F and Part G of the Building Regulations. These regulations are crucial for ensuring energy efficiency, fuel and power conservation, sound insulation, ventilation and water efficiency in both commercial and domestic structures. Our expertise is frequently sought after by a wide array of clients, including developers, individuals engaged in self-building projects, and multinational corporations and our commitment to excellence seeking compliance without compromise.

Air Permeability or Air Tightness Testing

Air tightness or pressure testing is a skilled method of determining uncontrolled airflow, air leakage and unwanted drafts at a property which may result in heat loss. As such, a property would not be deemed environmentally friendly and could prove expensive to run.

Acoustic Sound Insulating Testing

To be compliant with Part E of the Building Regulations, Sound Insulation Testing must be carried out at all residential or commercial new build properties pre-completion to ensure the development demonstrates acceptable levels of sound insulation.

SAP Calculations

SAP Calculations are a key component of any new build project to establish carbon emissions and subsequent energy costs of the property. These emissions are linked to ventilation, light, heat and hot water and need to be considered at the very beginning of a build, ideally at the design stage.

Ventilation Testing

Part F Ventilation testing is required to ensure that the ventilation performs as intended by means of mechanical extraction in the bathroom, Kitchen, Utility & WC, meeting a minimum flow rate.

Passiv Haus / Low Energy Testing

Passivhaus is not just a building standard; it’s a revolutionary approach to construction that empowers buildings to make a substantial difference in the world. For over 30 years, Passivhaus has been leading the charge in low-energy building, reducing ecological footprints and slashing energy consumption by a staggering 75%.

BTS03 / HBN04 Isolation Suite Testing

BTS 03 / HBN 04 are the testing standards for Healthcare facilities such as isolation suites. These isolation facilities are designed and developed for a healthcare setting to reduce the risk of microbiological contamination by isolating infectious patients. For healthcare agencies to comply with this standard the room needs to demonstrate minimal air leakage.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is the only way of fully visualising the thermal performance of a building. It visualises heat which is unseen by the human eye. It benefits from being non-contact so does not disturb the building fabric, it’s fast to survey large areas, and can provide instant results so discussions can be had on site. Each image produced is made up of more than 600,000 temperature measurements allowing it to compare large areas and identify even the smallest difference in temperature to highlight possible defects.

Water Calculations

Part G, a critical aspect of our offerings, focuses on water efficiency, sanitation, and hot water safety. For new builds and renovations, Part G mandates water calculations to ensure optimal usage and sustainability. These calculations involve evaluating water consumption from various fixtures and appliances, like toilets, showers, and taps. By quantifying water usage in liters per person per day, we promote the integration of water-efficient appliances, fostering responsible water practices and reducing waste.

At Eco Technology, our focus is on providing precise, reliable, and comprehensive testing services across a diverse range of building types. We are dedicated to enhancing the energy efficiency and overall quality of structures while working closely with clients to achieve exceptional results.

Adam

We regularly use eco tech and can not praise their service enough. The in site and office staff are very efficient. Mark attended our site recently and managed to test the whole site in a day (air and sound test) We received the certificates the same day! They are also always ready to assist if certain items are not ready, rather than cancel and rearrange. They are now our only choice. You won’t be disappointed – June 2022

Ian Welsh, Hampton Development Ltd

Eco Tech. performed an Air Pressure Test at my property on 19/05/2022. I found Mark Pickering (M.D.) to be very knowledgeable and helpful and was always on hand to offer advice. The Company were swift and professional in their approach and Paul Murphy who came out to this job was very efficient. I have no hesitation in recommending this Company to anyone who is looking for Eco related issues with their developments. – May 2022

Mark and one of his lads came out to carry out air test and balance the heat recovery system, they were very professional and polite. They spent some time explaining to me what they were doing and how the system will save us money on our energy costs.

Can highly recommend. – February 2023

Great support with SAP certification and EPC. As part of this they also managed the air tightness test. Timing was great and my needs were catered for throughout. Would have no hesitation in recommending Eco-Technology and would definately use again.

Thanks Debs and Mark! – July 2023

Colin Shaw

Very pleased with the service from Eco-Technology both prior to booking our air-test and thereafter. They offered advice prior to the test, were flexible with our booking, when we needed to change the date, and also provided further advice on measures to improve air tightness throughout the test. They were efficient in providing the certification post completion. The testing was swift and tidy. A good all round service, thank you. – August 2023
