Large building Testing

Retrotec’s multiple fan panels can be added in modules to test any building of any size. It is

very rare to require more power than the standard double blower system but if needed,
Retrotec can rent as many blowers as needed for any job.

In the UK, air leakage tests must

be carried out in accordance with
CIBSE TM23 on all buildings over
1000 sq.m. The Retrotec Model
M55 shown will test enclosures up

to 2880 sq.m. of envelope area at
the minimum allowable leakage
of 10 cu.m/hr./sq.m. It can be
expected that much larger

buildings can be tested with the
same system if they perform
better than this minimum.

Using two systems in
two doorways or in

one double doorway

will increase the
envelope area to

5,760 sq.m.

Retrotec software

will handle up to 18
blowers allowing for

testing of buildings

with 17,280 sq. m.

of envelope area.

Retrotec equipment,
software and field

training expertise

are available

immediately.

The latest draft of Approved
Document L of the Building

Regulations (Conservation of Fuel

& Power) which covers England &
Wales was published in April this

year. Following approval by the

European Commission this draft

will be finalized and published in
August 2001, becoming effective

from February 2002. From this

date all plans submitted for

Building Control approval must

comply with these new
requirements.
