Desigining a new building? Make sure you don't design in a problem.
Our extensive forensic experience lets us help your design team keep
problems out.
We offer design assistance to designers, builders, building owners
and other project stakeholders from the conceptual stage through
building commissioning and final acceptance.
We begin by helping set goals. Setting a definative and measurable
performance target is an important first step in designing a high
performance building.
During the pre-design stage we investigate design concepts that
consider the environment, climate, building envelope, materials and
mechanical equipment, and other features that impact building
performance.
As the ideas begin to take shape during the schematic design stage
we perform simulations to predict the building's performance. We use
powerful simulation software to model the heat, moisture,and
contaminant transfer properties of building assemblies such as walls,
roofs, foundations, windows and doors.
Even the most experienced construction team can have problems with
unfamiliar design details and procedures. During the construction
phase we ensure details are understood and properly incorporated.
Follow-up after construction is vital for verifying the design intent was
met. The best way to ensure this is through building and system
commissioning as well as proper operation and maintenance. We
help prepare commissioning requirements and O&M Plans.
