Are there minimum rates I need to achieve?
Yes. Depending on the location within the dwelling and the facilities the room has will affect the rate required. For example, a bathroom will have a different target compared to toilet.
What should I do?
Before the Extract Fan Flow Rate Test Part F please ensure all trickle vents / extract fans and cooker hoods are installed and are working correctly. If the product is faulty this could make testing difficult.
What is the importance of the test?
As builders become comfortable on the requirements of achieving a low air test score it has increased the pressure on ensuring the correctly sized purpose ventilation systems are installed. For example, extracts units are placed within rooms where water vapour or pollutants are released it is important to remove them and stop the spread to the remaining house as long-term impacts could be dampness or mould which both affect a person’s health.
