Thermal Physics, Acoustics and Environment Laboratory

THERMAL PHYSICS

  • products for thermal insulation in civil engineering and products of thermal insulation of building equipment and industrial systems, including products made of EPS, XPS, PUR/PIR, MW, FEF, CG, CS, PEF, PF and biobased
  • construction materials and products
  • windows, doors, roof windows, skylights, manholes, gates, glass units
  • sandwich panels
  • walls and wall components, masonry mortars
  • metal and glass shielding walls
  • outdoor air diffusers

We identify the following:

  • thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of construction materials and products
  • thermal resistance and heat transfer coefficient (numerical simulations of heat flow and on the GHB test stand)
  • characteristics related to the transport of water vapour, water vapour absorption with long-term diffusion through thermal and waterproof insulation products and foundation walls
  • humidity, moisture absorption and desorption, absorbability
  • resistance to freezing and thawing
  • dimensions, dimensional stability under fixed or laboratory temperature and humidity conditions
  • reaction of thermal insulation products under compression, bending, and stretching perpendicular to the frontal surfaces
  • density
  • flow characteristics and water tightness of outdoor air diffusers

ACOUSTICS

Acoustic parameters under laboratory and field conditions:

  • construction items, including: wall and ceiling partitions, roofs, doors, windows, ventilation items, glass packages, floating floors, lightweight floor systems, carpets, access floors, suspended ceilings and noise barriers
  • sound-absorbing materials and systems, interior design objects and equipment
  • ventilation products

Acoustic assessment of:

  • residential buildings, collective housing and public facilities, including: technical rooms, installations and other technical equipment of a building

We identify the following:

  • properties of insulating materials
  • sound insulation from airborne and impact sounds of building components and partitions
  • sound absorption coefficient of sound-absorbing materials and systems
  • acoustic parameters of noise barriers
  • dynamic stiffness of elastic materials used in floating floors
  • flow resistance of porous materials
  • noise level in rooms

CHEMISTRY AND ENVIRONMENT

  • assessment of the emission of dangerous substances from construction materials and products
  • indoor air pollution

We identify the following:

  • VOC emissions
  • chlorobenzenes
  • pentachlorophenol
  • volatile components of bitumen and its chlorine-based derivatives
  • isocyanates
  • formaldehyde
  • unsaturated monomers and solvents
  • phthalic acid esters and many other organic compounds
  • asbestos content and type
  • asbestos fibres contaminant levels
  • air purity classes
  • tests of purification efficiency (COD, BOD, suspension, N and P concentrations)

ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFICIENCY

  • ventilation ducts characteristics
  • opinions and technical assessments of ventilation products
  • tightness tests and nominal capacity of septic tanks and domestic sewage treatment plant tanks
