| Bauphysikalische Nachweise Structural engineering verifications Explanation: is what I would use. It's a fairly neutral, more-or-less "catchall" term... |

| Bauphysikalische Nachweise Materials testing Explanation: Since "structural" is already covered, I think they are refering to other types of testing. If you check under "bauphysikalisches Labor" etc. on Google, you'll see it's mostly about materials And even tho'the fruanhofer website says "building physics", I wouldn't use that (serious case of denglish) |

| Bauphysikalische Nachweise thermal/sound insulation, moisture control, fire safety and daylight certificates Explanation: The term "Building Physics" does exist in the UK (there are a few vernacular Googles), but it seems to be a fairly recent import that is not (yet?) widely used. The Brits tend to refer to the individual aspects, and not to band them together under a generalised heading. As to the individual aspects, here is a definition: http://lexikon.freenet.de/Bauphysik: Die Bauphysik ist eine Anwendung der Physik auf Bauwerke und beschäftigt sich mit den physikalischen Phänomenen bei diesen. Im Hauptsächlichen sind dies * Wärme: Wärmeleitung / Wärmestrahlung / Wärmedämmung / Wärmeschutz * Feuchtigkeit: Wasserdampfgehalt / Feuchtetransport / Kondensation von Wasser / Schimmel in Wohnungen * Akustik: Schallübertragung / Schalldämmung sowohl im Wohnungsbau als auch im Straßenbau * Brandschutz * Tageslicht -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs 5 mins (2005-08-23 18:21:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Of course, Shane, that leaves you with a bit of a mouthful for your letterhead. Perhaps you could use something like: Certification of the physical properties of buildings (insulation etc.) |
