IPT participates in the Brazilian Labeling Program of Procel in partnership with INMETRO. The Institute is accredited to carry out performance, energy efficiency and electrical safety tests of domestic water heaters. The scope of this program includes electric showers, electric water faucets, instant water heaters, accumulator water heaters, thermal tanks Read more…
IPT executes tests to verify the performance of the components of electrical installations in buildings, such as electric wiring ducts, distribution boxes and distribution panels, enabling evaluation of product conformity to standards issued by official bodies, ABNT or foreign technical entities. The results of these tests are used by industry Read more…
IPT’s activities in the area of building pathology aim to identify pathological problems in constructive elements, such as fissures or cracks, delamination of overlays, water infiltration in building façades, roofs and floors, and problems related to deterioration of construction materials. Over time, such problems in buildings may affect performance-related aspects Read more…
Hydraulic components used in building installations often present problems such as leakages, producing noises in the environment, safety risks to users and excessive water consumption. IPT checks devices used in hydraulic water and sewage installations such as taps, toilet bowls, siphons, pipes, etc. to see if their technical performance is Read more…
The principles of sustainability can be applied to different parts of a building, such as management of its waters. Some of the main components of this work are connected to the development, selection and utilization of suitable technologies for treatment and reuse of water on a local level in a Read more…
The reality of a large proportion of Brazil’s population differs from that of the central areas of large cities, where conventional sanitation is common. Small urban clusters, isolated houses, farms, homesteads and remote districts should have appropriate sanitation systems, be it water supply or sewage collection and treatment, in other Read more…
IPT evaluates the conditions of electrical energy consumption of local water and sanitation companies and public utilities, aiming to reduce this consumption. The evaluation of electrical energy consumption enables changes to be made in both the configuration and composition of these systems, especially of pumping equipment. Local sanitation companies and Read more…
The way we use water has been gaining increasing economic and ecological importance. The idea that water is an inexhaustible resource has been invalidated, and problems related to its misuse are becoming increasingly evident. In this context, several conservation projects are being developed, often based on the identification of opportunities Read more…
Practically all human activities generate effluents that cannot always be discharged directly into water bodies, but must first undergo some treatment. Some of these effluents have peculiar characteristics which only allow for their treatment under certain conditions or when subjected to specific processes. Knowledge about the treatability of effluents is Read more…
