Thermal analysis (Part 1)

Thermal study in energy refurbishment (Part.1)

Our office has recently acquired a thermal chamber in order to evaluate constructive weaknesses in inspections and controls of buildings to ensure that the processes of energy refurbishment, new construction and consultancy that we usually carry out have a more precise quality control.

This first blog entry is a part of a series of reports that we will be developing and sharing with you throughout this year.
