Building Physics
Research
The research at the division of Building Physics generally aims at the performance analysis of buildings on different scales: materials, components and whole buildings in their environment.
Research topics are: highly insulated building components, hygrothermal comfort and indoor air quality, sustainability analysis and life cycle assessments of building materials and building components, energy performance of buildings, sustainable constructions and urban physics.
The research in acoustics focuses on the sound-structure interaction, the prediction and analysis of the airborne and structure-borne sound insulation, analysis and prediction of building and room acoustics qualities, applications to interior noise perception and urban soundscape.
Consultancy
The Laboratory of Building Physics provides scientific services to third parties in the following fields: HAM-transfer, energy performance, urban physics and acoustics.
Through the creation of phyb as a distinct part of the division of Building Physics, direct and short term consultancy is provided in a flexible way. Take a look at phyb's website for more information.
