Mark Bomberg

Mark Bomberg is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at McMaster University. His work focuses on building physics, thermal insulation, and moisture management in construction materials.

• Building Physics
• Thermal Insulation
• Moisture Control
• Hygrothermal Modeling
• Energy Efficiency

His research explores the integration of environmental quality management (EQM) systems in buildings, with a focus on hygrothermal performance and energy conservation. Recent studies include the application of neural networks for HVAC control and the merging of geo-solar exergy storage (GEST) for net-zero energy building (NZEB) retrofits.

Key trends in his publications include advancements in moisture penetration testing (e.g., Modified Inverted Cup Test), thermal resistance evaluation of foams, and sustainable building retrofits. His work spans topics like capillary transition points, distributed-parameter continuum (DIPAC) models, and durability of building materials.

Dr. Bomberg has authored or co-authored over 100 publications, including books, chapters, and journal articles, and has served as an editor for multiple building physics journals.
