Depressurisation

The process of reducing air pressure inside a building relative to the outside. This can also be done during a blower door test to identify air leakage points.

Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC)

The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) is a rating that quantifies the average sound absorption performance of a material across a range of frequencies. It’s a crucial metric in acoustic design, helping control echo and improve sound quality in various spaces.

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)

MVHR systems are a key component of energy-efficient buildings. Learn how Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery works, its benefits, and how it enhances indoor air quality while minimising energy wastage in residential and commercial structures.

Building Envelope

The physical boundary that separates the interior of a building from the external environment. It

Acoustic Absorption

Acoustic absorption is the process of reducing sound reflection within a space by using materials designed to absorb sound waves. It plays a crucial role in improving room acoustics and reducing unwanted noise.
