Energy
KCL is a valuable contributor to our progress toward carbon neutrality as a first mover in technological development,
testing and certification in green remodeling, clean environment, and global climate change response.
We develop technologies that can make existing and new buildings more energy efficient, evaluate the weatherability performance
of buildings and building materials, and operate large laboratories that mimic the actual climatic environment.
