The implementation of Building Legislation Part L2 has caused many retailers to look again at the design of new buildings. In order to set a benchmark for future developments. IKEA employed the UK's largest fan to check the air tightness of its Glasgow store.
HRS's Megafan features a two-metre fan that can impel air up to a rate of 90cu metres per second - three times greater than any other test rig in the UK. It is mounted on a lorry and allows more efficient tests to be carried out than by using a number of smaller units. The Megafan confirmed that the building passed Part L2 requirements and helped suggest where further improvements could be made.
