What is Building Science Consulting?
At Building Performance Solutions (BPS), we act as Building Science Consultants, evaluating homes and commercial buildings as integrated systems. Our goal is to enhance Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), energy efficiency, and occupant comfort and safety, with a special focus on those who are hypersensitive. We also specialize in consulting for homes with construction and HVAC design issues, helping homeowners address and rectify deficiencies.
- Focus on overall building performance.
- Expertise in both residential and commercial properties.
- Committed to providing comprehensive solutions for hypersensitive individuals.
- Address construction defects and HVAC design issues in new constructions.
Enhancing Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)
We conduct various tests to assess and improve IEQ, focusing on reducing risks associated with VOCs (volatile organic compounds), indoor allergens, and other contaminants. Our comprehensive testing identifies potential risks and addresses potential construction defects including air leaks and improper ventilation. Our testing helps ensure a healthier and safer indoor environment tailored to your specific needs.
- Evaluate and test for indoor allergens and VOC levels to provide tailored improvement recommendations.
- All testing completed for your property will be consolidated into a single comprehensive report sectioned by test for clarity.
- Utilize advanced techniques to identify and mitigate indoor pollutants.
- Identify and document construction deficiencies, including water intrusion and finishing defects.
- Evaluate indoor allergens and VOC levels for tailored improvement recommendations.
Promoting Energy Efficiency
We specialize in creating energy-efficient built environments through rigorous testing methods such as blower door testing and duct leakage testing, identifying energy loss and improving building envelope performance. We also address HVAC design and installation issues, ensuring optimal system operation and energy efficiency.
- Perform detailed blower door and duct leakage tests.
- Identify areas of energy loss and recommend improvements.
- Support sustainable and cost-effective building practices.
- Assess HVAC system sizing and load calculations to ensure proper equipment selection.
