Norwegian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
Norwegian term or phrase: bygningsteknisk / bygningsfysisk
These two terms are quite tricky to render nicely in English. Any suggestions?

Contexts:
"Mindre skader som utvikler seg over tid, kan få store bygningstekniske- og økonomiske konsekvenser om man ikke avdekker og utbedrer årsaken tidsnok.

and

"Det er vel så viktig å ha kunnskap om nyere materialer, bygningsfysiske løsninger og dagens krav til energi og bygningskomfort kombinert med historikk, kulturhistorie og konservatortjenester."

Asker: Thank you. I'd considered "structural" for the latter, yes. Good to know I might be on the right wavelength at least.

Explanation:
You can just about shoe-horn these two into direct translations of the context sentences, but as Norskpro says, it would be better to rewrite them using the concepts as nouns not adjectives.

Example sentence(s):
  • Minor damage can have significant consequences in both the construction technology and economic areas.
