AMS and BSRIA hold two successful seminars in Dublin covering Airtightness Testing, Thermal Imaging and Acoustic Testing
The Red Cow Hotel, Dublin was the location for two successful seminars earlier this summer covering a range of topics including Airtightness testing, thermal imaging and acoustic testing.
Organised by Anderson Mechanical Services (AMS) and BSRIA, over 50 professionals attended including architects, mechanical engineers and contractors.
Airtightness Testing
David Unwin, General Manager of BSRIA Commercial Airtightness provided an overview of Airtightness testing and the benefits of carrying it out including saving energy and money. He then went onto talk in detail about the Building Regulations Part L which requires Airtightness testing on new dwellings. While Airtightness testing of new non-dwellings is not required e.g. commercial, factories, warehouses, etc. David said it was becoming increasingly common for contractors to want the testing carried out because of the financial and energy savings.
Eamonn Miley, Senior Mechanical Engineer & Low Carbon Consultant for AMS talked about the various services the company is now offering throughout Ireland and highlighted some of their recent case study jobs. In addition to these services Eamonn talked about the importance of an Airtightness strategy when designing and constructing a building. Eamonn offered the services of AMS to act as Air Tightness consultants for anybody who required assistance in this matter.
Thermal Imaging & Acoustic Testing
Colin Pearson, Head of Condition Monitoring at BSRIA then spoke about thermal imaging and the benefits it can offer. Part E of the Building Regulations refers to acoustic testing and Colin explained in detail the practical requirements for those involved in construction. He then went on to discuss what is actually involved in the acoustic testing itself before referring to various case studies for both thermal imaging and acoustic testing.
