Building Envelope & Enclosure Commissioning Services

Ensuring the Integrity of Your Enclosure

Your building envelope, sometimes referred to as the ‘building enclosure’, is comprised of the roof, exterior walls, windows, doors, and foundation slabs. Failures in the building envelope can result in air and moisture intrusion impacting your energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and indoor air quality, or damage the structure and interior finishes. Our building commissioning services includes a review of design details and specifications, mock-ups, inspections, and testing to help verify the integrity of your building envelope and maintain the thermal comfort and quality of your indoor environment.
