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
