Our ventilation testing service helps you ensure compliance with Part F of the building regulations that is key to the completion of any new building development.

As buildings become more airtight for better energy efficiency, proper ventilation becomes even more crucial to prevent the build up of black mould. We often carry out ventilation testing at the same time as air tightness tests to keep costs as low as possible for housebuilders.

For new builds, we offer Part F ventilation testing, a requirement to comply with building regulations for all property developments.

For properties with MVHR systems we offer MVHR commissioning, where we can calibrate your system to use very little electricity. This calibration needs to be carried out by an experienced air tester.

For existing properties, we offer a ventilation survey to assess your existing ventilation system and identify areas for improvement.

We’ve worked with Building Energy Experts to support Part O compliance across our developments and have been consistently impressed with their service. Their team is proactive, knowledgeable, and always on hand to provide clear guidance throughout the design and compliance process. Their reports are thorough yet easy to digest, and their input has been instrumental in helping us meet regulatory requirements without compromising on design. The quality of their reporting and technical advice has made them a valuable partner to our team.

Sean Haplin, Technical Coordinator at Redrow Homes

We’ve been very impressed with Building Energy Experts on all of our developments. We have found them to be very responsive to our queries and always happy to accommodate any further requests. We recently had an instance of an Energy Consultant going AWOL and urgently required a replacement Energy Consultant. BEE were able to quickly provide a quotation and were appointed within the same day of our initial enquiry.

Their information is always clearly represented, whether that’s in their Sustainability & Energy Statements submitted for Planning or SAP Input Summaries supporting their Design SAPs.

I would without doubt, consider BEE, to be one of our preferred Energy Consultants.

Ryan Walker, Technical Manager at Woodstock Homes

Ambue work with Building Energy Experts across a number of clients across the South East. BEE’s assessors are capable and adaptable working across a range of homes and archetypes where they are thorough and diligent in their assessments. Stan’s easy and accommodating attitude puts Residents at ease to ensure they understand what he is doing to help improve the health and comfort of their home. Ambue will be working with BEE across a number of projects in 2025.

Rowley Maggs, Ambue

I had a very positive experience working with BEE from a site perspective very helpful and quick to respond when I asked a question, turn around of results was very good. All in all I would use them again, very good.

Dominic Kevill, Site Manager at Woodstock Homes – Air Tightness Testing

Building Energy Experts produced a Sustainability & Energy Statement to support our planning application for 20 homes in Engine Common. They worked with our technical team to identify measures that would help energy savings across the development reduce residual carbon emissions. Despite the technical nature of the topic, the report was clear and concise and well received by the Council’s climate officers. I would happily recommend the team to other developers.

Ashley Grant, Planning Manager at Cotswold Homes – Sustainability & Energy Statement

My house is drafty and hard to heat, it is difficult to get it above 17-18 degrees on cold days even if the central heating has been on for quite awhile. The team at Building Energy Experts were very professional, explained what they were doing as they went along. The assessment was very useful, they have identified areas of air leakage etc and quick wins I can make. It has helped me prioritise my budget. I would definitely recommend using Building Experts.

Ventilation testing plays a vital part in many building projects. Here’s a brief introduction to the most common variations: 

Part F Ventilation Testing

Ventilation testing is a requirement under part F of the building regulations for all new property developments and is normally carried out right at the end of the project, just before residents move in.  All new build dwellings require a Part F ventilation test for building control.

MVHR Commissioning

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems are increasingly being used in energy-efficient buildings as they can be calibrated to use very little electricity. This calibration, called MVHR commissioning, needs to be carried out by an experienced air tester.

MVHR commissioning involves testing and adjusting the fan speed in each fan unit to optimise its performance. Fan flow rates need to be recorded before the system can be certified.

Existing Property Ventilation Survey

While ventilation testing is mandatory for new builds, it can also be beneficial for existing properties. We can assess your existing ventilation system and identify areas for improvement. This can help you:
