Construction & Energy Environment
By conducting testing and evaluation on all products used in eco-friendly, low-energy and green buildings, KCL contributes to creating a pleasant and safe building environment.
Performance evaluation of Energy efficiency
- Evaluation of heat transfer coefficient and condensation prevention performance in high-efficiency energy appliances and construction materials
- Testing of fundamental properties of glass, and evaluation of water-tightness, air-tightness, wind resistance and SHGC of windows, doors and curtain walls
- Evaluation of energy efficiency of radiant heating & cooling system and its materials Evaluation of the fundamental properties and thermal conductivity of organic & inorganic insulation materials
Testing & Evaluation of sound environment
- Evaluation of acoustic transmission loss (sound insulation) performance of partition walls, windows, doors, sound insulation sheets
- Testing and evaluation of sound absorption performance of materials such as urethane foams, rock wool and glass wool
- Testing and evaluation of floor impact noise of resilient materials for floors, ceiling systems, and floor materials
- Testing and Evaluation of noise reduction effects of noisegenerating units such as housing equipment units, electronic appliances, etc.
- Testing of sound pressure level difference of construction materials
Testing & evaluation of weather resistance
- Outdoor testing and evaluation of industrial materials and construction materials
- Indoor artificial acceleration testing through designed test condition
- Testing and evaluation of marine and industrial environment
- Evaluation of weather resistance
Testing and evaluation of curtain walls
- Air tightness test: Loss in heating and cooling energy is indirectly evaluated by checking the rate of air leakage a building
- Water tightness test: Testing of water penetration into a building at times of heavy rainfall
- Wind resistance test: Evaluation of a structure’s safety against strong wind and internal-external pressure difference
- Seismic and Wind induced Interstory movements test: Evaluation of safety against a structure’s shaking sideways and up and down
- Thermal cycling and condensation evaluation test: Testing of abnormalities in exterior materials caused by temperature difference and evaluation of livability
- Field test: Evaluation of adequacy of completed curtain wall
