520 _aThe DETR is to publish a new edition of Part L of the Building Regulations in 2001 which will may introduce mandatory standards and compliance air pressure testing for all non-domestic buildings. Outlines the details of government proposals regarding airtightness, including its intention to regulate existing buildings, whereby leakage should not exceed 10 cubic metres per hour per metre squared of envelope area at 50 Pa. Obligatory sample testing of dwellings is also proposed for 2003. The contractual responsibilities of clients, procurers, architects and contractors are also discussed alongside the three keys to airtight buildings, design for airtightness, build for airtightness and test for airtightness.
