Our Services
Building Aerodynamics
Building Aerodynamics is the art and science of determining wind loads on the main wind force resisting system and on components & cladding of buildings and structures. Pedestrian level winds (wind comfort) may also be of interest. Other testing encompasses smoke, smell or pollutant transport. Testing may be done in two boundary layer wind tunnels and in an acoustic wind tunnel.

Our Services
Smoke Control
Smoke extraction or other protection measures such as pressure differential systems are used to secure escape routes and to meet the demands of defined safety objectives in the case of fire. These measures need to be planed taking into account the requirements of standards and laws. Our experts use different simulation methods as well as standard calculation methods for this purpose.
