We specialize in the investigation, resolution, and ultimately in the prevention of building physics related defects and damages.
What We Do
Consulting Services
We provide consulting services across the broader building science domain, with a specific focus on moisture control.
Expert Reports
We support clients with expert reports that provide guidance in insurance claims and other financial or strategic matters.
Expert Testimony
We provide expert opinions on points of controversy, evaluating facts, details, and explain reasoning, justifying our conclusions.
Our Consulting Services
We are highly flexible in terms of services we can provide and are eager to “push the envelope,” so to speak.
Forensic
Investigations
We conduct forensic investigations and provide building diagnostics utilizing in-situ assessment methods, sensor and data logger systems, and employ simulation tools to identify the root of building related issues and provide recommendations for remedial and preventive actions.
Building
Simulations
We provide building simulation services ranging from thermal, hygro-thermal, lighting, to acoustic performance simulations using dynamic software simulation tools, including Finite Difference Method, Finite Element Analysis, and Boundary Element Analysis applications.
Design-Built
Assistance
Whether you look for consulting on a single engineering issue, consider optimizing existing designs, or seek assistance in the development of a whole building project from conceptual design through commissioning, we are prepared to come on board of your team.
Have you considered your next project to be a Net-Zero-Energy Building?
We provide design assistance and technical know-how to get it right.
What is Building Science?
BuildingGreen

‘Building science‘ or ‘building physics’ is a broad term that refers to our knowledge of the physical behaviour of buildings and their impact on energy efficiency, comfort, health, safety, durability and so on. It is the application of the principles of physics to the built environment. [ Building science – Designing Buildings ]
Whole Building Design Guide
