Engineered Solutions for Building Performance Testing
BECS identified that to provide the best solutions to our clients, we need to ensure the expertise of performance testing should be at our client’s fingertips. Therefore, we developed BECS Labs.
BECS Labs provides field and laboratory testing capabilities to fully support our building envelope consultants.
We bring the experience and foremost experts in the industry to the science of the building envelope and its performance. BECS Labs tests the performance of your building and brings actionable data to the project. We will test how your current building performs and test products to ensure they have the capacity to keep the inside in and the outside out. Additionally we will proof-tests mockups and prototypes for potential new construction goals.

We have developed a network of manufacturers that call on BECS Labs to certify their products and materials.
This provides a path for Owners, Managers, and Architects to confidently specify products that pass rigorous testing procedures. Our Lab utilizes a variety of specialized equipment calibrated by third-party research labs to bring accurate data to your project – assuring that the building materials are being tested with the highest commitment to standards – providing you with unbiased data.
