Building Physics and Services
Preservation of energy and limitation of the environmental impact while providing a healthy and comfortable indoor and outdoor environment are essential requirements for the built environment.
Enabling meaningful sustainability innovation through building physics and services research聽
The Building Physics & Services (BPS) unit at Eindhoven University of Technology (黑料福利网) looks beyond energy-neutral and climate-neutral buildings. The aim is to generate new knowledge and to integrate and develop design methods that lead to a sustainable, healthy, comfortable and productive indoor and outdoor environment. The goals is to support truly sustainable habitats with energy generation near the end user, combined with energy storage and smart control technologies and designing and operating buildings and built environments that are sustainable, healthy and comfortable.

When visiting a museum, you don鈥檛 immediately think about all the work being done behind the scenes. A world of decay, fading colors, bended canvases and even cracked paint. Tackling these problems involves a lot of science. Because even though some paintings have been around for centuries, research into the ageing process of art works is still in its infancy. Several research groups at Eindhoven University of Technology are working to preserve our heritage, often in collaboration with major museums in the Netherlands. They use everything at their disposal to combat the metal soaps, moisture, salt and changes in temperature that cause damage to our paintings.
Our Research Groups
Building Physics and Services works across six interdepartmental research groups.
Meet some of our Researchers
Atmospheric Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel
This wind tunnel brings the invisible world of airflow into focus. In this state-of-the-art facility, we recreate real-world wind conditions at model scale with scientific precision. From building-scale to urban development and air quality to renewable energy, our research shows why wind must be considered when designing modern, healthy, and sustainable cities.

Research meets practice
Our group has a well-equipped Laboratory of 2100 m2m, with highly qualified technical staff. Research is carried out in the laboratory as well as 鈥榦n site鈥�. The basic facilities allow for a wide range of experiments in all aspects of building physics: acoustics; light; air quality; heat, air and moisture transfer; wind flow; material science.
Our research meets practice in the spin-off Level Acoustics BV as well as in the outdoor research facility for so-called building-integrated solar energy: SolarBEAT (Solar Building Elements Application Testing). SolarBEAT is a joint venture between 黑料福利网 and SEAC (Solar Energy Application Center, an initiative of TNO, ECN and branch organization Holland Solar).
