We delve into the physical aspects of buildings in relation to comfort, health and sustainability. The emphasis is on the indoor climate and the factors that influence it, such as noise, vibrations, light, air, temperature and moisture.
In urban building physics, we look primarily at factors in a building’s environment, such as sun, shade, noise, sound, wind, air quality and noise. We consider the total life cycle of a building in all its sustainability facets, incorporating important aspects such as energy use, circularity, safety and building quality. Supporting research takes place in Peutz’s building physics laboratory.
Our consultants base their building physics advice on advanced calculations, laboratory measurements and the knowledge we have accumulated over the past forty years.
We like to work together with the architect, structural engineer and installation consultant from the early stages. So that we work together in one design team on integrated solutions. We know from experience that this produces the best results.
Simulation techniques: predict and improve
We have advanced simulation techniques in-house. This allows us to predict and improve the thermal behavior, daylight penetration and building physics quality as early as the design stage of a building. As the design takes further shape, we examine the facades, walls, ceilings and the detailing of the structures. During the realization phase, we can support the construction team with field inspections and measurements.
