The goal of Gale’s Building Enclosure Commissioning Team is to “Build it Right the First Time.” The complexity of high-performance buildings can lead to potential shortfalls in their enclosure’s thermal and moisture performance. Our typical services include building enclosure forensic investigations and providing practical design and construction solutions for our clients.
Based on our forensic knowledge, we provide a commissioning process that identifies potential building enclosure issues before they become costly remediations. We collaborate with owners, users, design team, and contractors to identify potential problems and offer options and solutions during the design and construction phases.
