Ever wondered what actually makes a room feel comfortable, or why sound carries through some walls and not others? Our latest blog post digs into the building science behind it: eight weeks of hands-on measurement covering thermal comfort, acoustics, daylighting and energy performance.

It covers things like how temperature, humidity and airflow combine to make a space feel "just right," why noise travels the way it does through doors and walls, how natural light falls across a room depending on window position and orientation, and how the sun's path through the seasons should shape where you put your windows, shading and layout.

It's a deep dive into the fundamentals that sit behind good building design — the kind of grounding that still informs how we think about renovating and improving older properties today. Have a read on our Academic Research blog!
