Building Envelope Inspection

Building Envelope Inspection

Building envelope inspections often are a part of the commissioning process prior to turning over new construction, as well as a warranty or due diligence inspection when acquiring a property. Properties looking to acquire LEED certification or other building certifications need these inspections. Building envelope inspections (curtain wall inspections) find thermal performance problems with windows and wall assemblies and identify:

Air infiltration
Air exfiltration
Insulation voids
Loose external wall decorative panels
Moisture penetration wall and window assemblies
Window and door seal leakage
