Through a field of scientific knowledge, based on chemistry, physics, engineering and architecture, we are able to understand more thoroughly building performance. Within the building performance through analysis and testing we can determine energy efficiency, indoor thermal, acoustic and light environment as well as indoor air quality.
Using analysis and the scientific method we look at the performance of walls and all the wall components, roofs and all the roof components and foundations focusing on how to design with continuity and connectivity of all components into a systematic approach.
Through building science we not only focus on the performance of the building but also the performance of the building materials and how everything correlates into the bigger picture of longevity and sustainability.
