Building science
In their lifecycle, real estate assets undergo wear and tear over time and face various operational demands: climatic conditions, mechanical and physico-chemical constraints, regulatory and normative changes, as well as changes in use or purpose. All these factors can impact buildings, leading to deterioration, defects, or damages, causing not only material losses but also health risks for occupants.
Over time, civil engineering laboratories have expanded their expertise in instrumentation and industrial hygiene to offer services that anticipate, identify, evaluate, and measure risks to buildings, as well as risks that may affect or are already affecting the people who live, visit, or work there. These services are offered to you by ABS and are designed to meet your needs and those of your buildings, offering inspection, sampling, analysis, design, and monitoring services. Our qualified staff has extensive expertise in building science, which is why we can also assist you in managing your real estate assets and equipment through instrumentation and management solutions.

It is generally estimated that the building sector represents more than 30% of the final energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of most industrialized countries. This sector has an energy saving potential in the short and medium term higher than most other sector.
