Infrastructure / Building Performance and Digital Twins
Building Performance and Digital Twins
Advanced equipment for building assessment, environmental monitoring, spatial capture, digital twins and immersive visualisation.
SERG’s building performance and digital twin facilities combine advanced spatial-capture technologies with building-physics instrumentation, environmental monitoring, IoT sensors and immersive visualisation. This infrastructure supports building assessment, scan-to-BIM applications, digital twin development, energy monitoring and indoor environmental quality studies.
LiDAR-equipped drone
Enables aerial laser scanning and the generation of detailed 3D models of buildings, infrastructure and terrain.
Matterport Pro3 spatial-capture system
Creates immersive 3D representations of indoor and outdoor spaces for virtual exploration and building documentation.
Dark chamber for measuring the thermal properties of building materials
Provides controlled testing conditions for investigating the thermal behaviour and performance of building materials.
Heat-flux measurement systems with IoT controllers
Monitor heat transfer through building components and enable automated data collection for thermal-performance analysis.
Indoor air-quality and environmental monitoring systems
Monitor indoor environmental conditions and air-quality parameters to assess occupant comfort and building performance.
U-value measurement equipment
Measures the thermal transmittance of building elements to evaluate insulation performance and heat losses.
Hot-wire anemometer and light meter
Measure air velocity and illuminance to assess ventilation conditions and indoor lighting performance.
