Test Building Labs

At our Test Building Labs, we specialize in evaluating building materials and construction techniques to ensure safety, durability, and efficiency. Our lab utilizes cutting-edge technology and expertise in hygrothermal performance and moisture management.

Where We Monitor:

Investigative monitoring sensors monitor for exterior moisture intrusion, condensation, thermal performance, air tightness and differential pressure, and vertical and horizontal movement. 

WALLS

walls monitoring

ROOFS

roof monitoring

FOUNDATIONS

foundations monitoring

WINDOWS

windows monitoring

Our facility features a state-of-the-art testing environment equipped with advanced technologies for accurate assessments. We simulate real-world conditions with our test huts, allowing us to monitor building performance over time. Below are research papers with more information on our findings and methodologies.
