The MT CoE lab, a SVA-GRIHA 5-star rated facility, has received the accreditation for testing thermal properties of building materials from National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL).
A well-organized state-of-the-art facility offers testing services for thermal characterization of opaque and non-opaque building construction materials. The material testing facility at the MT CoE has so far tested more than 150 construction materials, including over 30 emerging building materials. The establishment of such testing facilities equipped with advanced-age testing equipment is a noteworthy move towards bridging the gap between the building energy regulations and stakeholders’ demand for promoting the use of low-cost energy efficient building materials. As an NABL accredited lab, stakeholders are assured of test results and services provided by the facility.
"We got our thermashield cool roof reflective coating tested for thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat capacity. The overall experience with the testing services was excellent and has helped improve the credibility of our product"
Mr. Rajdeep Chowdhury (Business Head - Structural Painting & Coating | Head - Specification AAC Business, Biltech Building Elements Limited)
"We had an excellent experience with the CoE. The testing facility was competent, and employees were very cooperative. The facility has helped us enhance material-related research outcomes."
Mr. P.N. Ojha (Joint Director, Centre for Construction Development and Research)
"Our division had an excellent experience with MT CoE for material testing. All the tests were conducted with great accuracy. The testing facility has helped us with the thermal characterization of innovative material, to enhance the research outcomes in our projects"
Dr. Suneel Pandey (Director, Environment & Waste Management division, TERI)
"Our research group has been availing the material testing services at the Mahindra-TERI CoE for the last one year. The procedure has been easy and has provided prompt and good quality service. The testing facility has helped us enhance our research outcomes."
Dr. Monisha Mridha Mandal (Assistant Professor, University School of Chemical Technology, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University)
"I greatly appreciate the communication maintained in the whole process. The technical staff was very friendly and professional. The service was excellent, and they were constantly in touch to provide me information about the material tests."
