Lab Equipment

Our laboratory is equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced instruments that support high-precision research in fenestration and building envelope performance.

Through significant investment, we have developed an integrated experimental platform that enables thermal, optical, and environmental characterization across multiple scales. This diverse infrastructure allows us to conduct rigorous, data-driven studies, from material-level properties to full-system performance, providing capabilities that exceed those of many comparable research labs.
