Building Envelope Commissioning (BEC) ensures that the exterior systems of a building perform optimally in terms of energy efficiency, durability, and safety. A BEC agent plays a crucial role from the design phase through construction and occupancy, focusing on verifying that building envelope systems, such as fenestrations, walls, and roofs meet the project’s performance goals and regulatory standards.
The BEC agent conducts in-depth reviews of design specifications to ensure alignment with performance objectives, including energy efficiency, thermal insulation, moisture control, and airtightness. This includes a close examination of material choices and detailing to anticipate and prevent potential issues.
To support a smooth construction process, the agent assesses constructability, focusing on how the design can be effectively implemented in the field. This includes identifying potential conflicts, challenges with installation sequences, and ensuring that the design details are practical.
During the construction phase, the BEC agent provides oversight to verify that installation meets design intent and project specifications. This includes observing critical installation procedures, reviewing quality control measures, and conducting field tests such as air and water infiltration tests.
Ensuring thermal integrity and moisture management is vital. The agent evaluates insulation, vapor barriers, and waterproofing components to validate their effectiveness in managing thermal and moisture transfer. Infrared thermography and moisture meters may be used for performance verification.
The BEC agent coordinates testing and inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes and standards. This includes overseeing specialized tests like water penetration, air leakage, and thermal performance, ensuring that building envelope elements perform as expected.
To support a comprehensive commissioning process, the agent prepares detailed documentation, including reports on design reviews, inspection results, testing outcomes, and recommendations for corrective actions. These reports provide a quality assurance record that guides ongoing maintenance and operation.
Our team conducts independent design review to the project documents, to ensure the design is compliant, engineering sounded, cost effective and practical.
Our team oversees on-site and laboratory testing to validate the façade's performance, including tests for air tightness, water penetration, and thermal bridging.
We provide services for the ongoing assessment of building envelope performance to ensure that façades continue to meet performance standards over time.
