The future standards initiatives imply action – but fail to provide key detail

New air tightness test approved for use by construction industry in revised UK Building Regs

Date Time New air tightness test approved for use by construction industry in revised UK Building Regs The UK Government has announced a new air tightness technique can be used as an official compliance measurement tool in the UK’s recently-revised Building Regulations. The low-pressure Pulse test is now an approved alternative method to the standard blower door test to measure the air tightness of buildings. The technological innovation was extensively researched and developed by The University of Nottingham, and is now commercially-licensed to tech start-up, Build Test Solutions (BTS). Dr Chris Wood, one of the investigators at the University behind the Pulse test believes its inclusion in the latest Building Regulations represents a “significant step in the journey” towards delivering the new leakage measurement tool to the UK construction industry.

Explainer: the proposed Future Buildings Standard in detail

3/m 2@50pa. Lighting has been revolutionised since 2013 by the widespread adoption of LED technology so minimum standards have been increased. A significant change, and one that Fogarty has been closely involved with, is in moves to improve and focus attention on finished building energy performance. The current route to compliance, which is using a software tool called SBEM, produces a target emissions rate for the building being designed by comparing it with a so-called compliant “notional building” which is the same size and shape. Designers have the flexibility to change building elements, for example increasing the performance of the building envelope so they can fit less-efficient building services (subject to minimum standards). Fogarty says there is a misconception that the target emission rate relates to how much energy the finished building will use.
