UKCMB has a clear and important mission: to ensure that moisture safety is placed at the heart of creating healthy, durable and low-carbon buildings. This is an area I have long been passionate about. My own work on building performance: from airtightness and ventilation through to indoor air quality and energy efficiency, has shown time and again that moisture is a hidden but critical factor. If you get it wrong, the consequences can be […] - [Fire doors and ventilation air transfer: resolving a false conflict](https://fourwalls-uk.com/fire-doors-and-ventilation-air-transfer-resolving-a-false-conflict/): We are increasingly encountering a recurring issue: a perceived clash between ventilation air transfer requirements and fire door specifications – particularly in flats. We are finding that intended ventilation air paths are being blocked because air cannot transfer between rooms as designed. Internal fire doors are fitted tightly into their frames with minimal threshold clearance, leaving no effective air path. Ventilation systems, whether natural ventilation or, more commonly, MEV or MVHR, rely on those transfer paths to connect supply rooms (e.g. bedrooms and living areas) with extract rooms (e.g. kitchens and bathrooms). Without them, ventilation is restricted in the rooms […] - [Airtightness: progress, but are we missing the point?](https://fourwalls-uk.com/airtightness-the-journey-so-far/): When I first became involved in shaping the airtightness requirements for Part L of the Building Regulations, the topic was treated as a specialist curiosity. Airtightness was often seen as a compliance hurdle rather than a fundamental element of energy efficiency, comfort, and building durability. Over the last two decades, the industry has come a long way. New homes are now tested, airtightness targets are clearly defined, and there is a growing supply chain of testers and products designed to make compliance achievable. In many respects, this is a positive story: UK homes are significantly more airtight than they were […] - [Ventilation policy: A reflection on progress and the road ahead](https://fourwalls-uk.com/ventilation-policy-a-reflection-on-progress-and-the-road-ahead/): I have worked in building performance for over 30 years, and since 2008 have been closely involved in shaping ventilation policy in England and Wales. Having contributed directly to the 2010 and 2021 editions of Approved Document F, I have seen first-hand how regulation has evolved to respond to tighter fabric standards and the drive to cut greenhouse gas emissions, lately net-zero. 2010: A step change The 2010 edition of AD F was the first to make an explicit connection between airtightness and ventilation system choice. The principle was clear: as buildings become tighter, reliance on infiltration is not acceptable. […] - [CIBSE Building Performance Awards 2025](https://fourwalls-uk.com/cibse-building-performance-awards-2025/): Four Walls Consultants Director, Ian Mawditt, Appointed Judge for CIBSE Building Performance Awards 2025 We are delighted to announce that Ian Mawditt, Director of Four Walls Consultants, has been selected as a judge for the prestigious Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Building Performance Awards 2025.

Ventilation in retrofit projects is often one of the most overlooked considerations.  Yet ignoring ventilation is high risk, both in terms of occupant health and minimising moisture risk to the building fabric. Most retrofits, by their very nature, will automatically have a dramatic reduction effect on air leakage. However, it can be quite confusing to work out how best to ventilate – natural, mechanical – centralised or decentralised. A number of factors will dictate the most appropriate strategy, […] - [Zero Carbon Hub Ventilation Study](https://fourwalls-uk.com/zero-carbon-hub-ventilation-study-2/): fourwalls were part of the project team for this study, led by the Zero Carbon Hub. The study team visited 33 dwellings across 6 construction sites in 2015 to see how effectively their mechanical ventilation systems were designed, installed, commissioned and handed over to occupants. In summary, we found things going wrong at multiple stages of the construction process at every site. The cumulative effect of these issues ultimately outweighed any good practice, as the systems we tested showed significant under-performance. At 5 of the 6 sites, fans were operating at only half the required duty or lower, i.e. flow […] - [Characteristics and Performance of MVHR Systems](https://fourwalls-uk.com/mvhr-meta-study/): A long time in the making, but we are pleased to announce that the MVHR meta study has now been published. The meta-study was commissioned by Innovate UK as part of the Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) Programme to provide an overview of the performance and use of whole-house heat recovery ventilation (MVHR) systems in domestic projects.

For more information about this study, see the Zero Carbon Hub page here or download the study summary here. - [Building Performance Evaluation in the South West](https://fourwalls-uk.com/building-performance-evaluation-in-the-south-west-seminar-and-site-visit/): Ian Mawditt from fourwalls presented ‘how to evaluate buildings – the lessons we have learnt from the Building Performance Evaluation programme’ at this event on behalf of Innovate UK. Watch the video here. Through the BPE programme it has become evident that new buildings are rarely evaluated and fine-tuned, and that there is a lack of feedback between the building owner, and the design and construction teams. This can often result in impressive-looking buildings with dissatisfied occupants, and higher-than-expected energy bills. The programme has encouraged capacity building of BPE processes within the industry, and has helped the teams to develop […] - [MVHR meta-study talk at Ecobuild](https://fourwalls-uk.com/mvhr-meta-study-talk-ecobuild/): Ian Mawditt from fourwalls has been working in partnership with Professor Tim Sharpe from the Mackintosh Environmental Architecture Research Unit and Professor Rajat Gupta from Oxford Brookes University on a meta-study of domestic heat recovery ventilation systems.

It will be the biggest energy-efficiency scheme in the country, with a total estimated value of £60M. The qualifying retrofit houses will be solid wall, privately-owned properties, which can be difficult to treat. The funding […] - [welcome to our new website](https://fourwalls-uk.com/new-website-launch/): We are pleased to launch our new website. The site has been updated to reflect the broad array of services that we offer. We continue to offer compliance testing and inspection services, such as Energy Performance Certificates, ventilation commissioning and thermography. But getting buildings to perform as intended requires a more holistic approach, which includes how occupants engage with their buildings, whether it is at home or at work. We hope that this new site will give you  good overview for what we can do, but please do get in touch – we would like to hear from you. ## Pages - [Research and Development](https://fourwalls-uk.com/research/): Buildings need to adapt to our changing environment – through using fewer resources during construction and in-use, but also to ensure occupant safety, and wellbeing. New technologies are constantly emerging. Techniques continue to develop. How successful will these be in practice? This is where we can step in. We work with a wide range of organisations in the private sector to help develop technologies, products, and strategies. We also work extensively with the public sector, using our technical experience to help governments develop policies for delivering net-zero buildings, and local authorities develop strategies for implementing these policies. Our research is […] - [Cookies](https://fourwalls-uk.com/cookies/): We use cookies.

The energy performance of a new, low-energy building can be worse than a much older building. Benchmarking a building at design stage allows for a realistic evaluation of the predicted energy performance, and will help you to make informed decisions during the design and construction process. Benchmarks can form the basis for setting targets for building operators and energy managers when comparing expected performance against similar buildings. At fourwalls, we use recognised industry methods for reporting benchmarking data, such as CIBSE TM54 […] - [Post-Construction Inspection](https://fourwalls-uk.com/services/site-inspections/): Post-construction quality inspection and testing will help to assess the quality of construction in relation to thermal performance, and to determine if the services are optimally commissioned. We offer a range of inspection and testing services. These include airtightness testing, ventilation performance measurements and thermographic surveys. Thermographic Surveys Infrared thermography is an established method for surveying buildings and can provide visual evidence of a range of defects in the building envelope. fourwalls have 15 years of thermography experience specifically relating to building energy and condition surveys. We use our own high-resolution thermal imaging equipment to conduct internal and external surveys […] - [Retrofit Advice](https://fourwalls-uk.com/services/retrofit-advice/): The majority of existing buildings are very inefficient to heat, meaning they are more expensive to run. Retrofitting existing buildings to improve their thermal performance is becoming ever more important as we start to respond to, and adapt, our building stock for low carbon heating strategies. Retrofitting needn’t be complex, but there will be challenges. We take a strategic, long-term approach to retrofit projects, and encourage clients to evaluate the post-retrofit performance for a period afterwards to ensure both the design targets and their expectations are met – not just on paper. Our approach to retrofit projects is to help […] - [Monitoring](https://fourwalls-uk.com/services/monitoring/): ‘If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it’. Monitoring a building can help you to make strategic decisions about the efficient operation of a building, or to identify where investment may be needed to upgrade a building. We can install our own wireless telemetry sensors and data logging equipment, to monitor both comfort and energy buildings for short-term (e.g a few weeks) or long-term periods (a year or more), or if available we can use on-site data (e.g. from a BMS) to provide equivalent data. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your monitoring requirements. Professor […] - [Energy Audits](https://fourwalls-uk.com/services/energy-audits/): Most buildings offer considerable opportunities for reducing energy use and costs. A building energy audit is an inspection process that aims to quantify energy use and identify areas that use or lose energy. Our audits will help you identify the most appropriate solution for your building: from a domestic one-off house to preparing a business case development for a large corporation. We can also provide technical evaluations, and energy assessment reports compiled using the CIBSE TM22 (non-domestic) and DomEARM (domestic) methods. What’s involved? As part of the audit we will conduct a survey of the premises and collect various data […] - [Design Advice](https://fourwalls-uk.com/services/design-advice/): The building performance gap sometimes exists because the expectations might be unrealistic. However, it is normally associated with the design of the building fabric and services – they may be incompatible, or a particular design detail might be very difficult to build. fourwalls offer design advice on all aspects of energy-efficient, sustainable building to help you manage the performance gap at an early stage. We work directly with self-builders and major builders, architects, engineers, and building owners. We can provide strategic advice through detailed design to ensure the best and most robust solutions are applied to your building. get in […] - [Building Performance Evaluation](https://fourwalls-uk.com/services/building-performance-evaluation/): Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) Buildings don’t always perform as intended. Once in use, they may consume more energy than predicted, struggle to maintain comfort, or experience indoor air quality problems. BPE closes this gap by testing and monitoring how buildings actually behave: during construction, at handover, and throughout operation. Applying BPE early helps identify and manage risks before they become embedded. In occupied buildings, ongoing evaluation supports strategies to reduce energy use, improve comfort, and verify that systems are delivering as designed. Our approach combines a range of techniques, tailored to client needs and budgets, including: If you’d like to […] - [latest tweets](https://fourwalls-uk.com/home/twitter/): [socialslider] - [latest news](https://fourwalls-uk.com/home/latest-news/): [latestnews type=”carousel” number=”3″ category=””] - [Services](https://fourwalls-uk.com/services/): Building Performance Evaluation Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) is a defined method, which includes the assessment and monitoring of building performance. The BPE process is best started during the construction phase, but the main benefit of the evaluation comes after the building has been in use for a period.
