Building Physics
Building physics: thermal performance and GEG compliance, moisture control, building and room acoustics, and energy consulting for new build and existing buildings.
Heat, moisture and sound – the three things buildings fail on in use, long after the structure has been proven.
Why together with the structure
Because it is the same elements. The thermal bridge sits at the cantilever slab, the impact sound at the floor, the moisture damage at the junction. Design structure and building physics separately and you solve each correctly and both wrongly.
In existing buildings
There building physics is almost always the critical part: retrofitted internal insulation moves the dew point into the construction, and a tighter envelope changes how moisture behaves throughout the building.
