This Build Test Solutions Level 1 airtightness testing course uniquely provides candidates with the knowledge and skills to carry out low pressure Pulse airtightness testing on simple buildings up to 4,000m3 (new and existing).
With this qualification, testers may go on to register with an authorised airtightness competent persons scheme and generate tests for the purposes of new build compliance (Part L), retrofit (PAS2035) and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs).
The course is designed in accordance with the National Occupational Standards (NOS) as set by the Government which defines the competency levels required by the authorised airtightness Scheme Operators, Elmhurst and ATTMA.
