We offer complete review, analysis, and testing of the building envelope prior to completion of construction which allows early detection and repair of leaking systems, saving you money. For example, reducing air leakage can result in up to 35% heating savings in certain climates. Controlling air and water leakage protects the envelope assemblies from costly damage/deterioration, improves air quality, reduces the load on mechanical systems and reduces energy costs.
