      In the UK, air leakage tests must be carried out in accordance with CIBSE TM23 on all buildings  over 1000 m^2^ of gross floor area where construction began after April 2002.  The TM23 standard requires a maximum allowable leakage of 10 m^3^/hr at 50 Pascal per m^2^ of envelope area. The Retrotec Model PW5E shown will test buildings with up to 2880 m^2^ of envelope area at a the maximum allowable amount of 10 m^3^/hr per m^2^   If the building is more typical and has been constructed tighter than this then this same model could test buildings of 10,000 m^2^ or more.

!&gt;/energy_testing/technical_support/images/airLeakageTesting.jpg 200x150! Using two systems with a total of 6 blowers in two doorways will double the size of building that can be tested.   Retrotec software will handle up to 18 blowers yielding 48 m^3^/sec at 50 Pascal&apos;s. Retrotec equipment, software and field training expertise are available immediately.

The Building Regulations (Conservation of Fuel &amp; Power) which covers England &amp; Wales has been finalized and published.  All plans submitted for Building Control approval subsequent to April 2002 must comply with these new requirements.
