COMPLIANCE MADE SIMPLE
Everyone deserves a home that’s warm, cosy, and free from those cold draughts
Pulse Airtightness Testing is fast, reliable and low impact
Energy efficient design, draught proofing and regulation-ready solutions
Built for Scotland’s low carbon future
Airtightness | Background ventilation testing
New Build: We provide CIBSE TM23 compliant testing to meet the requirements of Section 6 of the Scottish building standards technical handbook.
Retrofit: It is important to ensure that there is adequate ventilation to provide sufficient fresh air and prevent mould growth. Background ventilation and Airtightness testing determines if minimum levels of ventilation are present before and after improvement measures are installed.
Pulse is an innovative, efficient, portable compressed air-based system that is used to measure the air permeability of a building or enclosure at a near ambient pressure level of 4Pa. Certification: we offer Elmhurst certification.
How Pulse works
Test | Detect | Seal | Certify
We test how leaky your place is, detect where the leaks are, retest and certify.
We use Pro Clima products to provide durable sealing.
Compliance with Building Regulations
New builds require compliance, this confirms your building meets the maximum allowable air leakage rate.
Energy performance demonstrates the level of uncontrolled air leakage through gaps, cracks and penetrations in the building envelope
Improved thermal performance means lower heating costs and reduced carbon emissions, this impacts the EPC score required for selling or renting a property
Sound Insulation Testing
Section 5 of the Scottish Building Regulations addresses noise reduction in buildings, requiring specific sound insulation standards to minimise noise transmission between spaces, including airborne sound for walls as well as airborne and impact sound for floors. New constructions and conversions must meet defined performance levels, verified through mandatory pre-completion testing by a qualified personnel.
Partners: We partner with MR Acoustics for Sound Insulation Testing
Whole house retrofit can reduce energy demand by 50-60%W
Help us create a future where our planet thrives. Unprecedented challenges which threaten the delicate balance of ecosystems that sustain life are happening now. We have the power to reverse some of the damage, with awareness and collective effort. By making conscious choices to reduce our carbon emissions, we can contribute to a healthier planet for ourselves and future generations. Every small action contributes to a larger positive impact.
