BRANZ Research Now: Positional corrosion #1 - The impacts of natural elements on different parts of the building envelope

BRANZ is researching the impact of natural elements such as sun, rain, wind and wind-blown sea salt on different positions on a building.

Early results show that micro-environments around a building can be very different from each other and from the surrounding environment.

Understanding this can lead to a better understanding of material degradation and ultimately to improved building durability.
