Our Research Focus

The current research focus is the hygrothermal performance (the control of heat, air, and moisture transport) of the building enclosure, innovative and advanced building materials, and interactions and optimization of the enclosure-HVAC package. We have unique strengths in full-scale field studies using test houses and field monitoring, as well as the use of computer models in the support of practical decision-making and product development

The present areas of interest include:

Moisture and its effects on building performance is the key area of strength linking the above research topics.
