Our fire testing furnaces are controlled manually by our engineers - and this is what that looks like! It's constant monitoring throughout your test and quick, on-the-spot adjustments, resulting in a beautifully smooth time/temperature curve. Temperature can vary greatly based on the materials used in the assembly, so it's critical to be able to adjust to those variations immediately. Get in touch with Deanna Seale, P.E. to schedule your testing in our brand-new fire lab! https://lnkd.in/ejJAiY3t #ASTME119 #firetesting #buildingmaterials

Everyone deserves a great place to call home. In honor of #pridemonth and the anniversary of Stonewall tomorrow, let's talk about the importance of sustainable housing for LGBTQ+ youth! This also gives us a great opportunity to highlight the Ruth Ellis Center (REC), an affordable housing and support center for the LGBTQ+ community in Detroit. The REC earned NGBS Green certification at the Silver level and includes many features that will support both sustainability and the wellness of its residents: https://lnkd.in/eBYb4F79
