    Building Physics & Systems

    The building and construction industry is full of innovative ideas. TNO helps companies (building and construction companies, suppliers, architects) to make this tangible by sharing knowledge and providing advice. At the same time, we are committed to making the built environment more sustainable by creating comfortable, healthy and energy-neutral buildings for both new and existing buildings.

    To this end, we focus primarily on energy and material use, reducing the costs of the life cycle of existing buildings through innovative products and the sustainable use of materials. Our forecasting models optimise the maintenance of existing buildings and improve the performance of new buildings.
