The Laboratory for Building Physics is partner of manufacturers and licensers of all types of construction elements. Furthermore, consulting engineers and planners are supported in the determination of thermal and energetic parameters for the object-specific evidence.

The laboratory is equipped with various test facilities (heating box, guarded hot plate, spectrometer, integrating sphere, climatic test rigs) for carrying out standard-compliant tests. Within the flexible accreditation, however, tests can also be carried out for which there is not yet a normative basis, such as the calorimetric determination of the total solar energy transmittance of glazing and the test of dew point performance of single-skin or multi-skin construction elements.

All advantages at a glance

The tests are carried out by a competent team of physicists and engineers.

The cooperation in national and international standardization committees ensures that the tests carried out always correspond to the current state. This applies both for the verification methods recognized under building law and for tests accompanying development.

Our Test Rigs

Two test engineers stand in front of a hot box test rig for climate tests — The winter thermal insulation (U-value) for windows, products, roller shutter boxes, etc. is determined in the hot-box method.

An test engineer lifts a specimen from a guarded hot plate — Guarded hot plate

A test engineer in a sun-protective suit stands in front of an illuminated Calimero test rig — Calorimetric measurement facility for total solar energy transmittance
