Mock-Up Testing

SHARE

Mock-up testing and validation of indoor climate before you build: Checking a system performance before installation will ensure it meets project specification and works on site first time. Mock-up or physical modelling is the key to effective building design, procurement, construction and operation. It is a professional process of constructing a full size representation of the proposed design for a specific part of a building interior. Physical mock-ups built in our laboratory or on-site: BSRIA experts can create a mock-up of any type of built environment to assess HVAC systems, and provide advice on design and installation, e.g. offices, dealer rooms, telecomm or IT areas, hospitals, isolation rooms and tailored applications.

Our mock-ups enable customers and whole project teams to:

  • witness performance testing and trial the design
  • check performance for specific application
  • select the right system for their project
  • make crucial design decisions before a building is built.

Full and part scale mock-ups can be built for testing thermal comfort and systems under real operating conditions to:

  • verify fitness for purpose
  • optimise design performance
  • assess HVAC, cooling and ventilation strategies
  • compare products before purchase
  • check installation methods before building on site
