Building Envelope & Testing
The building envelope is a critical but often overlooked component of energy efficiency.
We provide a comprehensive, three-pronged approach to rating your building envelope and pinpointing energy loss using advanced blower doors, thermal imaging, and digital U-value meters.
Blower Door Testing
By pressurizing or depressurizing your building, we calculate exact envelope leakage rates. Unacceptable leaks are isolated using thermal imaging and smoke tests, allowing for targeted repairs that properly seal your facility from the exterior elements.
U-Value Measuring
Using state-of-the-art technology, we measure the true U-value of your wall assemblies. This verifies that new construction meets design specifications and identifies areas in existing buildings that require insulation upgrades—delivering accurate, actionable data.
Indoor Environmental Testing
A healthy building is an efficient building. We rigorously test your indoor environment to measure levels of CO2, CO, VOCs, particulate matter, and formaldehyde.
Not only does this ensure a safe, comfortable atmosphere for your occupants, but our comprehensive testing also satisfies LEED certification requirements.
// Diagnostic Insight
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is an invaluable diagnostic tool for locating hidden trouble areas. By repairing these issues early, you extend equipment life, improve occupant comfort, and drastically reduce energy consumption.
Mechanical Systems
We evaluate HVAC performance to locate compromised insulation, poorly maintained equipment operating inefficiently, and unseen condensation leaks before they result in mold growth.
Electrical Systems
Bad electrical connections cause voltage spikes and excessive heat, risking premature equipment failure and electrical fires. Our thermal scans safely identify these hazards so they can be swiftly resolved.
