Building Envelope, Building Physics and Fire Safety

With our sound expertise in thermal and moisture protection, acoustics, air flow and fire safety, we analyse and evaluate building services and develop sustainable solutions that are technically precise, environmentally sound and compliant with relevant standards.

Our expertise in building physics enables us to evaluate building performance and to determine their full potential. In addition, our thermal and hygrothermal analyses provide information on the quality of construction details and identify criteria deemed to ensure thermal and moisture protection.

We develop innovative products and processes for windows, doors, gates and façades, measure their performance and conduct climate and burglar resistance tests.

In the field of fire safety, we develop proportionate and sustainable solutions for products, materials and constructions that meet all legal and physical requirements. In our institute, the fields of fire safety, building envelope and building physics work hand in hand, enabling us to offer a comprehensive range of expertise and a broad spectrum of experience and knowledge.

Following our involvement in the complete revision of the Swiss Fire Safety Regulations (BSV 2026), we are in a position to provide you with expert support on all issues relating to the fire safety of buildings and facilities.

Our services for you in the following areas:

We are committed to high quality standards. We have an EN-ISO 17025 accreditation and are a notified body for windows, doors and gates (Notified Body NB 2172).

  • Development, assessment and recommendation services on the use of building products and materials and on constructions 
  • Fire performance testing and assessments of façades and building components
  • Development of structural components and detailed solutions with fire safety requirements, in combination with soundproofing, thermal insulation and moisture resistance requirements
  • Support in the development of specific solutions for wood applications used for object-related fire safety concepts
  • Development of circular construction products with fire safety performance characteristics
  • Development of general, company-specific and product-specific processes
  • Development of guidelines for the implementation of fire safety requirements

In the area of testing and certification of fire resistance and fire behaviour, we collaborate with the Swiss Institute for Testing Inspection Certification SIPIZ.
