Ventilation and Air Tightness Testing Service
03333 239045 | enquiries@theiaa.co.uk
Field-based solution to your background ventilation requirements
The IAA CS offer background Ventilation and Air Tightness Testing Service, a field-based solution to your background ventilation requirements. The IAA have developed a TrustMark approved process that addresses background ventilation requirements under pathway A and B of PAS 2035 and provides an alternative for pathway C whilst not replacing the airtightness testing requirements.
By using The IAA CS ventilation and air tightness testing service you can avoid the unnecessary install of trickle vents and door undercuts where sufficient existing background ventilation is proven. Download this leaflet for further information.
Benefits of the service:
What is included within the pre and post install?
Pre and post Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM) installation air leakage testing provides you with the data to ensure that ventilation requirements for PAS 2035 standards are measured correctly.
Pre-install
A test must first be carried out on the dwelling as a whole, these results provide insight into the total level of background ventilation across the whole property. As per PAS 2035 and dependent on the result, adding more EEM advanced ventilation interventions may be necessary.
Post-install
Upon completing the installation of the planned EEM works a final background ventilation test is carried out to ensure background air changes go beyond the guidance set out in PAS 2035. In many cases both pre and post testing can take place on the same day for cavity wall, loft or underfloor insulation. For more information about this service email enquiries@theiaa.co.uk.

Train your own staff
The IAA CS can provide training for your staff to carry out testing to be certified by either iATS soon to be renamed the Elmhurst Air tightness Scheme or the Air Tightness Testing and Measuring Association (ATTMA) and training is being offered to those installers who wish to pursue this route.
This two-day course is knowledge based and practical with a live property assessment. On successful completion you will gain a Level 1 qualification in Air Tightness and Ventilation Testing and will be presented with a certificate allowing you to register with iATS and use the agreed process.
