Building physics and indoor environment

The evaluation of construction products, parts of or entire buildings is work that we often carry out for clients in the building industry or property owners. We investigate measure and assess the following functions that amongst others, affect the indoor environment:

• Thermal insulation performance
• Moisture security
• Airtightness
• Thermal comfort
• Radon presence

The quality assurance of windows, doors, entire prefabricated detached house kits, indoor environment and the construction process constitute a large part of the work we undertake for our clients. Damage investigation is also a very important part of the service we provide.

Our R&D section concentrates mainly on moisture secure buildings and construction methods, indoor environment and health, and airtight/energy efficient buildings.

We run a number of training courses, which include moisture security, efficient use of energy and good indoor environment

We are members of the Moisture Research Centre and work with several universities and institutes of technology. One of these is Chalmers University of Technology, with whom we run the Convection Group.
