Air Tightness Design Review

Design Reviews ensure that air tight elements are fit for the intended purpose and will have the necessary life span. Our expertise, skills and experience provide clients with pragmatic design solutions to minimise the risk of the air tightness works failing in the short and long term.

Drawing on our technical knowledge and experience we identify areas of the building design and specification that pose a risk to the air tightness specification. Aspects to review for air tight elements can include their material specification and physical characteristics, air permeability, detailed design, proposed installation procedures and operational requirements.

HRS's Design Review Solutions are therefore fundamental in eliminating potential problems. Sending us drawing and specification details is a key stage to accruing the long term benefits of achieving the air tightness specification.
