Introduction
Small, but concise, this little book continues to provide you hard-to-find facts
about our industry. This fifth edition, supported by IHS, contains expanded
sections suggested by you the reader and updated content for the remaining
sections.
So what’s new this year? Well, we have provided you with additional KPIs for
benchmarking customer satisfaction for maintenance contractors which you can
find on pages 54-57. The special tips for tax relief for building work has been
added to the financial data.
Don’t forget, a handy Freepost form for your suggestions can be found at the
end of this book.

Airtightness Testing
WHY ¾ Legally mandatory under Part L1A (Dwellings) and Part L2A (Buildings other than Dwellings) of
2006 Building Regulations
40% - 60% of energy losses in buildings are due to unintentional air leakage
HOW ¾ Suggested airtightness specification clauses:
The building airtightness pressure test shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements detailed in
the ATTMA Technical Standard 1, ‘Measuring Air Permeability of Building Envelopes’
The building airtightness test shall be carried out by a member company of ATTMA (The Air Tightness Testing
and Measurement Association). The company shall also be UKAS Certified.
The building has been designed to achieve an air permeability of XX m3/(h.m2) at an applied pressure
difference of 50 Pa. (XX = 10 or lower)
The instrumentation used to carry out the building airtightness test shall be UKAS certified and have a valid
calibration certificate.
WHEN ¾ The specified value for airtightness should be determined when the SBEM or SAP calculations are
completed.
The airtightness test should be procured prior to practical completion.
WHO ¾ BSRIA Airtightness

Whole-Life Costing Analysis, BG5/2008, presents a simple process for

the practical calculation of whole-life costs. Worked examples show
how the different stages of the process relate to one another, how
results are obtained and what they mean.
The whole-life costing guide has been specifically written for clients,
contractors, consultants and product manufacturers to understand
the long-term economic implications of their proposals and
decisions. The guide will be invaluable to those without financial
expertise or a track record in life-cycle analysis.
The guide presents a simple process in five sequential steps for the
practical calculation of whole-life costs for the construction and A BSRIA
