What is Building Envelope Consulting?
Building envelope consulting focuses on evaluating and improving the components that separate a building’s interior from its exterior — including walls, windows, roofing systems, and waterproofing barriers. Our consultants help clients prevent air and water infiltration, optimize thermal performance, and ensure long-term durability through advanced testing, design reviews, and construction-phase services.
Why Building Envelope Consulting Matters
- Enhances energy efficiency and sustainability
- Prevents mold, leaks, and structural deterioration
- Improves comfort and interior environmental control
- Helps comply with local and national building codes (IECC, LEED, IgCC)
- Reduces repair, warranty, and legal risk
Our Building Envelope Services Include:
- Envelope design and peer reviews
