Our Process for Solving Building Envelope Problems
HEC Technologies thorough understanding of Building Science principles including heat transfer, air movement, moisture migration, indoor air quality, pressure differentials and mechanical systems allows us to view the building as whole system made of multiple sub systems which all interact. Understanding this concept allows us analyze the whole structure to determine the root cause of the problem.
AccuAudit™: Complete Diagnosis of Building Problems and Selection of Proper Techniques and Materials to Solve Problems
HEC Technologies uses the most proven diagnostic tools in the industry to solve your building problems. The proper combination of techniques for each problem is the key in permanently solving building problems whether they are thermal, acoustic, new construction or retrofit projects.
Whole-Building Approach (Integrated Systems Approach)
- Blower Door
- Moisture Meter
- Mechanical System Review
- On-Site Building Dynamics Analysis
- Review of building deterioration
- Thermo Camera Inspection (Infrared Camera Scans)
- Computer generated acoustical analysis (commercial projects)
Our Techniques:
- Block and Seal major thermal by passes
- Air Seal penetrations
- Back unsheathed walls subject to wind washing
- Correct ventilation problems
- Insulates poorly insulated or uninsulated areas
- Recommend strategies to deal with: High humidity, duct leakage, and ghosting
Research has shown that a 4% air gap can cause a 34% reduction in heating and cooling efficiency. Customers planning residential, commercial or industrial construction projects should call us during the design stage to seek our guidance on insulation, building envelope design, and HVAC to prevent costly mistakes.
