The commissioning and testing schedule and responsibilities credit is achieved.

The integrity of the building fabric, including continuity of insulation, avoidance of thermal bridging and air leakage paths is quality assured through completion of post-construction testing and inspection. Dependent on the building type or construction, this can be demonstrated through the completion of a thermographic survey, as well as an airtightness test and inspection (see compliance notes CN3.3 and CN3.4. The survey and testing is undertaken by a suitably qualified professional (see Relevant definitions) in accordance with the appropriate standard.

Any defects identified in the site inspection, thermographic survey and the airtightness testing reports are rectified prior to building handover and close out. Any remedial work must meet the required performance characteristics for the building or element as defined at the design stage.
