UK Building Compliance completed Veritherm Testing at a property in Salisbury
The client wanted this testing in order to see how their building's thermal performance measured up with a view to making improvements in problem areas
It is becoming increasingly important to be more environmentally friendly and as energy efficient as possible and with a rise in energy wastage in recent years, energy performance is a key factor in making homes more sustainable
THE PROCESS
Loggers are placed in every room in the house, the whole building is then heated up using heaters and fans which are spread throughout the house
The test runs overnight so that there is no interference to the results by heat from the sun
The total fabric heat loss is calculated (in conjunction with the SAP Calculations) when the heaters are turned off to see how well the building holds in the thermal energy
