We have been working to adapt background oriented schlieren (BOS) imaging to directly visualize building leakage, which is fast and easy.
The incorporation of low embodied carbon building materials in the enclosure is increasing the fuel load for fire, increasing the demand for fire/flame retardants.
Neutron beams are used around the world to study materials for various purposes.
The traditional window installation process involves many steps. These are becoming even more complex with newer construction requirements such as installation of windows over exterior continuous insulation walls.
Moisture management accounts for over 40% of the energy used by buildings. As such development of energy efficient and resilient dehumidification technologies are critical to decarbonize the building energy sector.
Concrete floor slab flatness and levelness are parameters often specified in construction documents that contractors must meet to ensure a high quality of construction. However, the measurement of these parameters is cumbersome and time-consuming.
Making existing buildings more airtight is critical in reducing the nation's energy consumption and carbon output. Most current methods of locating building leakage sites are disruptive to occupants and none of the methods can measure the flow of individual leakage sites.
