Services
Building Envelope Consulting
Our building envelope consulting services provide comprehensive design, inspection, and testing solutions for commercial and residential projects. We ensure code compliance through detailed design reviews, construction administration, and forensic investigations. Our team delivers waterproofing solutions and air barrier systems that prevent costly leaks while maintaining energy efficiency.
Energy Modeling
We offer advanced energy modeling using eQUEST and IES Virtual Environment software to optimize building performance. Our models predict energy consumption based on materials, systems, and climate conditions. This helps achieve code compliance, qualify for tax incentives, and meet sustainability goals through data-driven design decisions.
Air Barrier Testing
Our AAMA-accredited air barrier testing services verify building envelope integrity through whole-building pressurization tests. We identify air leaks that could compromise energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Testing meets Washington and Oregon energy code requirements while providing actionable solutions for improvement.
NFRC Simulations
As an NFRC-accredited laboratory, we provide U-factor, SHGC, and VT ratings for windows and doors. Our simulations help manufacturers achieve Energy Star certification and assist builders with code compliance. We use CMAST software for accurate commercial product performance assessments.
Remediation Consultation
We offer remediation services for property managers and HOAs through infrared scanning and destructive testing. Our team identifies water intrusion sources and develops maintenance schedules to prevent future issues. We provide detailed reports for budget planning and reserve studies.
