91影视鈥檚 Building Enclosure Consulting and Commissioning team supports energy-efficient, durable building design through all project phases, from design to post-occupancy, helping to ensure optimal building performance and longevity.
The building enclosure is a vital component of an energy efficient and durable building. It includes all six sides of the building. The roof, opaque walls, windows, below grade walls, and floors all have different assemblies/systems, with unique functions, that are intended to control air, water, vapor, and thermal movement through the building. Our Building Enclosure Consulting and Commissioning team helps ensure your project鈥檚 building enclosure meets its intended performance goals.
