Building Enclosure Commissioning provides a framework for working with the architectural design and construction teams to help provide an optimized building enclosure that successfully performs and meets the Owner's Project Requirements. This includes providing construction document review, preconstruction meetings coordination, construction monitoring and performance testing of building enclosure components and systems to evaluate its resistance to water and air infiltration.

Construction Document Review

By reviewing the entire building as a whole, then breaking it down into sections to study and analyze the various transitions, we can identify any potential voids in the exterior air and weather barriers and potential voids or thermal bridging issues. We provide comments and markups for review and consideration, and work in collaboration with the Design Team to incorporate enhanced detailing that will provide an optimal building enclosure.

Preconstruction Coordination

We continue to work with the Design Team as the project transitions into construction, where we will begin working with the Construction Team, General Contractor and Subcontractors associated with the Building Enclosure components. We will coordinate with the entire team and schedule a Preconstruction Meeting with the General Contractor and Subcontractors to go over various system scopes, and look to identify any potential scope gap or transition concerns. We will also review subcontractor submittals and shop drawings in conjunction with the Design Team to identify any potential concerns and verify all building enclosure systems and details are being properly addressed.

Construction Monitoring

We will continue to work as an extension of the Construction Team. We will coordinate with the General Contractor and develop pre-installation meetings with each of the Building Enclosure Subcontractors to review scope and identify potential issues and concerns. We will help identify requirements for the mockup panel and review finished construction details associated with that mockup panel. We will provide construction monitoring throughout the installation of building enclosure systems and components, and provide written Observation Reports of issues or concerns that will need to be addressed.

Performance Testing and Post-Occupancy Warranty

We will help develop the critical performance tests that should be administered for the components and systems associated with the building enclosure, and will monitor the tests and report on the outcome of the testing. We can also be available to perform a 10-month warranty review after occupancy to verify there are no issues or concerns prior to the 1-year warranty period.
