Most of the buildings and industrial assets operating today were never designed for 45°C heatwaves, extended UV exposure, rising energy[...]
What Actually Matters When Heat and Flame Are Involved Fire performance is one of the most misunderstood parts of building[...]
Every coating system eventually faces the same test. Sun. Moisture. Movement. Contamination. Time. The real question is not whether a[...]
Steel fails for two main reasons. Heat and corrosion. We treat them as separate problems. They are not. If you[...]
The Problem Across Australia and New Zealand, thousands of buildings are operating under ageing metal roofs. Warehouses. Schools. Modular buildings.[...]
Heat blocking coatings work. But only when they are installed correctly. Too often, performance gets judged on the product when[...]
Thickness has dominated insulation thinking for decades. More bulk. More R-value. More material. But what if performance is not about[...]
Extreme heat is not a theory problem. It is a surface problem. Roofs hitting 70°C. Steel containers becoming ovens. Jet[...]
If you are specifying coatings for roofs, steel structures, containers or façades, the real question is simple. Will it still[...]
Everyone talks about performance on day one. Very few talk about performance after year ten. In building science, coatings and[...]
Thermal cameras do not guess. They measure infrared radiation and convert it into a visible temperature map. When used correctly,[...]
In building science, the lab is controlled. The surface is not. In the lab, temperature, humidity, air movement and radiation[...]
There is a lot of noise in the insulation coatings space. Big claims. Impressive percentages. Selective test data. If you[...]
Why surface science must now shape planning law Urban heat is no longer a design inconvenience. It is a public[...]
We are not designing for yesterday’s climate anymore. Australia is already experiencing longer heatwaves, higher peak temperatures, intense rainfall events[...]
For decades, building performance has been judged by a narrow set of metrics. Mostly R-values. Sometimes U-values. Occasionally energy modelling[...]
For decades, the industry has defaulted to thicker insulation, higher R-values and bigger HVAC systems. Yet governments around the world[...]
Social housing is meant to protect the most vulnerable. Yet across Australia and globally, many social housing projects are thermally[...]
