Why Use the Portable Thermal Chamber?
In-situ non-destructive testing for the R-value of low-slope roofs
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by identifying regions of low-slope roofs prone to heat loss
Lead a global initiative to reduce heat and energy waste from buildings
A building envelope includes all materials that keep the inside air separate from the outside.
If not sealed properly, they can increase energy costs and reduce indoor air quality.
Low-slope roofs are common in commercial buildings but are prone to substantial heat loss if inadequately insulated. Current methods to measure their performance require destructive testing.
Our Portable Thermal Chamber will enable a non-destructive, less invasive measurement of a roof’s thermal performance.
