TECTOR: A New Name with Expanded Capability in Moisture Detection
Woodsense evolves into Tector, reflecting their enhanced capability in moisture detection technology beyond timber
Smart Building Collective, a leading certification body and research think tank, is proud to support Tector—formerly known as Woodsense—in their rebranding journey. This evolution not only reflects a new identity but also signals Tector's enhanced capability to address broader market needs with their advanced moisture detection technology.
Woodsense, a name synonymous with excellence in timber moisture monitoring, has rebranded to Tector, marking a significant shift to encompass a wider array of applications. This strategic pivot reflects their broader market fit and the success of their innovative solutions in preventing moisture damage across various building materials and structural types, including flat roofs.
“Tector’s evolution from Woodsense represents a natural progression in our mission to provide comprehensive moisture detection solutions,” said Jeppe Rasmussen, CEO of Tector. “With our new identity, we are equipped to deliver our technology’s benefits to a broader market, ensuring better building protection and resilience.”

Tector Solution Certification:
Not a checklist but a dynamic process to score the existence and use of technology to measure
Building Usage
How people use the building informs the decisions of what space, amenities, system automation, and adjustments are required to better serve the needs of the users. If the needs of the user can be more effectively met, improvement to performance and cost base can be more easily realized.
Building Performance
Visibility into a building’s performance from a system perspective but also amenities, and machine management, allows optimization of operations and elimination of unnecessary costs or waste. This theme looks towards optimization of investment, improved efficiencies, consumption, and a minimization of environmental impact.
Building Environment
The physical environment of the building has never been more important than it is now. Healthy environments and more importantly data proving that environments are healthy will increasingly be required by users, building owners, and even governments.
Health, Safety, and Security
Technology is the only way we know if buildings are compliant with health and safety standards and truly capable of keeping users safe. Safety is a basic human requirement that all other aspects are built upon.
User Behavior and Collaboration
Smart Buildings are intrinsically connected to their function and the people inside of them. This theme explores how the building empowers user behavior and collaboration, supporting the maximization of value and purpose of the space.
Integrative Design and Connectivity
How well are the solutions integrated with one another and the building? The least number of solutions for the maximum benefit. Elimination of department silos and seamless system integration. Smart building and business continuity is dependent on internet connectivity levels within the building. This section explores integrative design and connectivity in detail.
"Such an impressive solution that tackles a huge cost problem in real estate; one we can all learn from as we continue to explore the world of smart buildings. A mesh network of sensors that triangulates and pinpoints leaks, whilst showing exactly how far that leak has already spread. Really smart technology and water doesn’t stand a chance. Smart Building Collective’s endorsement of Tector reaffirms our shared commitment to trust and reliability. Tector’s rebranded identity and expanded solutions embody these values, ensuring that developers and property managers can confidently integrate their technology into diverse projects.” - Nicholas White, Managing Partner Smart Building Collective
Understanding the Tector Pivot:
The rebranding from Woodsense to Tector is more than just a name change; it signifies a broader mission to safeguard all aspects of building construction from moisture-related damage. Tector's solutions now extend beyond timber to include flat roofs and other critical structures, reflecting their commitment to comprehensive building protection.
In the construction industry, undetected moisture ingress can lead to severe damage, costly repairs, and project delays. Tector’s advanced sensors offer early detection, allowing for timely interventions that protect both the structural health of buildings and financial investments. This proactive approach is essential for maintaining budget control and ensuring project success.
Tector’s technology not only mitigates risks but also enhances overall quality assurance in construction projects. By providing clear, actionable insights, their solutions support faster, targeted repairs and promote sustainable, resilient building practices. This aligns with Smart Building Collective’s mission to advocate for technologies that drive excellence and innovation in the industry.
As Tector continues to expand its market reach, Smart Building Collective is dedicated to supporting their efforts with ongoing certification and thought leadership. Our goal is to foster a collaborative environment where innovative technologies like Tector’s drive the future of sustainable and resilient construction.
