We utilize modern equipment to test and diagnose the building envelope to identify potential issues.

Benefits include:

• Energy efficiency: Reducing energy consumption by sealing air leaks 

• Comfort: Improving thermal comfort and avoiding drafts 

• Indoor air quality: Controlling outdoor contaminants, pests, and odors 

• Equipment sizing: Determining the proper size and airflow requirements for heating and cooling equipment 

• Mechanical ventilation: Determining if mechanical ventilation is needed to maintain indoor air quality 

• Preventing problems: Preventing unwanted home problems like humidity, mold, allergies, and pest intrusion 

Benefits of mid-construction blower door testing include: 

• Identifying leaks: Showing builders where air leaks are so they can be sealed before the work covers them up 

• Addressing problem areas: Allowing contractors to address problem areas while construction is still underway 

• Ensuring goals are met: Ensuring that air tightness goals are on track

Using infrared thermography, we can identify areas of heat loss and moisture intrusion in your building, providing valuable insight into energy efficiency. This non-invasive method, paired with blower door tests, helps us pinpoint air leakage and insulation gaps, providing solutions for better building performance.

Our HVAC design modeling services leverage the latest software to ensure precise and comfort-focused designs. We calculate the correct load and duct/pipe sizes to ensure your system delivers the right amount of heating or cooling exactly where it’s needed, minimizing energy use and maximizing comfort.

Proper HVAC design is critical for both efficiency and comfort. Many traditional systems are designed without taking key features into consideration, but we ensure that every detail, from airflow rates to insulation levels, is accounted for, delivering superior performance.

Commonly referred to as F280, this is the standard for calculating the heat gain and loss in a building, which is used to size heating and cooling systems.

Our ventilation designs incorporate energy recovery systems and economizers to ensure energy savings and optimal airflow. We customize each system to meet the specific needs of your project while lowering operational costs. Commonly referred to as F280, this is the standard for calculating the heat gain and loss in a building, which is used to size heating and cooling systems.

Using detailed heat gain/loss calculations, we design ducted forced-air systems to ensure precise heating and cooling in every space. By properly sizing your system, we help avoid the common problem of oversized equipment and unnecessary ductwork, ensuring quiet operation and energy efficiency.

Correct commissioning is key to ensuring that your system performs as designed. Our experts rigorously test and adjust installed equipment to align with manufacturer specifications and design intent, preventing common issues like leaky ductwork and inefficient operation.

Using our software tools, we can forecast energy consumption for residential projects, ensuring compliance with energy regulations and helping optimize designs for energy savings. This modeling includes everything from thermal resistance to passive solar heating opportunities, ensuring your project meets energy efficiency goals.
