The Importance of Building Physics in Improving the Quality Control of Buildings - The Role of Public Authority

At the moment, there are more than 1000 on-line measuring sensors in pilot buildings in Oulu. These results can be exploited in building physical modelling of constructions. The goal is to improve the performance of buildings and verify the level which should be better than the level based on the codes. In this presentation, the role of public authority and results of quality control efforts are introduced.
