Building Envelope Testing

Building Envelope testing involves evaluating the performance and integrity of a building's exterior envelope, including its walls, roofs, windows, and doors. The goal of building enclosure testing is to identify any issues or weaknesses in the envelope, such as air leakage, water infiltration, or thermal inefficiencies, that can affect the building's energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and overall longevity. Testing Services Include:

  • Building Performance & Fenestration Testing.

  • Electronic Leak Detection.

  • Facade Assessment.

  • Roof Testing.

Construction Administration

Electronic Leak Detection Testing — ASTM D7877

Construction Administration for building enclosure is a critical service that ensures the successful implementation of the building enclosure system during the construction process. Our team of licensed professionals collaborates closely with architects, engineers, contractors, and building owners to review plans and specifications, conduct on-site observations, and perform quality control checks to verify that the enclosure system is installed correctly and functioning as intended.

Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) is a non-destructive testing method that uses electrical current to locate breaches, pinholes, and seam voids in roofing and waterproofing membranes. Following the ASTM D7877 standard, our technicians scan the exposed membrane directly to pinpoint the exact location of each defect, so repairs can be made precisely.

  • Peer Review.

  • Construction Phase Monitoring.

  • Mock-up Testing.

  • Pinpoint accuracy — locates even pinhole-sized breaches at their exact point of entry

  • Non-destructive — scans the membrane directly without cutting or flood testing

  • Fast and cost-effective — reduces investigation time and avoids unnecessary tear-out

  • ASTM D7877 compliant — scientifically valid, repeatable, industry-recognized results
