Quality management and sustainability certification

The building boom in China not only creates high demand for new building materials, components and systems along with appropriate planning and manufacturing procedures. In addition, quality requirements are also constantly increasing.

Outdoor testing under realistic transient boundary conditions ultimately delivers the most convincing results. Further advantages are gained when outdoor tests are combined with simulations, which can then be validated while keeping outdoor testing costs down to reasonable levels at the same time. Fraunhofer IBP’s site in Holzkirchen is home to the world’s largest full-scale outdoor testing ground for building structures and components, building materials and building system components. The local climate is characterized by extremes of weather that make it perfectly suited to this task, including strong sunshine in summer, cold winters and driving rain.
