Often there are major challenges in developing diverse and complex human mobility metrics systematically and quickly.
We have been working to adapt background oriented schlieren (BOS) imaging to directly visualize building leakage, which is fast and easy.
The incorporation of low embodied carbon building materials in the enclosure is increasing the fuel load for fire, increasing the demand for fire/flame retardants.
The traditional window installation process involves many steps. These are becoming even more complex with newer construction requirements such as installation of windows over exterior continuous insulation walls.
High strength, oxidation resistant refractory alloys are difficult to fabricate for commercial use in extreme environments.
Commercial closed-cell insulation foam boards reduce their thermal resistivity by up to 30% due to gas diffusion in and out of foam cells.
Concrete floor slab flatness and levelness are parameters often specified in construction documents that contractors must meet to ensure a high quality of construction. However, the measurement of these parameters is cumbersome and time-consuming.
