We assess the building’s design, environmental demands, and owner expectations — integrating industry standards, best practices, and building codes to issue comprehensive building envelope design recommendations. Our approach to sustainable building envelope design ensures all building envelope systems work together symbiotically, creating a functional building envelope system that safeguards the structure throughout its entire lifecycle.
Our building envelope consulting solutions focus on energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and thermal comfort. We carefully consider building envelope components and materials, including thermal insulation and glazing systems, to optimize the building envelope performance. This holistic approach to building envelope construction not only enhances energy efficiency but also addresses critical factors such as moisture control and air infiltration.
By implementing advanced building envelope technologies and conducting thorough building envelope commissioning, we aim to minimize building energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our team utilizes energy simulation tools to assess the thermal performance of various envelope systems, ensuring compliance with the latest energy performance standards and building energy codes.
We also consider the long-term impact of building envelope materials through life cycle assessment, taking into account factors like embodied energy and operational energy. This comprehensive analysis helps in creating a truly sustainable building envelope that balances immediate construction needs with long-term environmental and economic benefits.
Our building envelope solutions are designed to address thermal bridging issues, incorporate continuous insulation where necessary, and optimize the overall thermal performance of the structure. By focusing on these key aspects of building envelope assembly, we help our clients achieve energy efficient buildings that meet or exceed current standards for building energy consumption.
Through our expertise in building envelope technologies and commitment to sustainable building design, California Consultants delivers innovative and effective building envelope consulting solutions for new construction projects. Our services ensure that your building envelope not only meets current requirements but is also prepared for future challenges in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Our services extend beyond the construction phase, encompassing expert witness and litigation support for all facets of construction. As a recognized expert in the industry, California Consultants functions as an objective forensic inspector, analyzing building data to deliver an expert opinion that presents the client’s case in the most favorable terms. Our experts can offer litigation support for all aspects and phases of the construction process for both commercial buildings and single-family homes. This includes not just roofing and waterproofing support, but also addressing structural issues, material defects, and other complex problems that may arise during legal proceedings.
In our role as forensic investigators, we employ a wide range of diagnostic tools and methodologies to ensure a comprehensive assessment of roofing and waterproofing systems. This can include anything from the use of moisture meters for precise moisture testing, infrared thermography for detecting hidden water pooling, and core sampling to examine roofing membranes and waterproofing layers. We also conduct thorough examinations of structural elements, checking for issues such as loose shingles, blocked gutters, or compromised roof penetrations. Our expert analysis takes into account various factors such as freeze-thaw cycles, salt exposure, and the effects of expansion and contraction on building materials. By providing detailed technical explanations and an impartial assessment, we help clients understand the causal relationships between observed issues and potential waterproofing failures. Our comprehensive reports not only identify problems but also recommend appropriate corrective actions and building maintenance strategies to prevent future issues and maintain structural integrity.
