The average American spends 70%-90% of their time indoors. Building Science evaluates heat transfer, moisture transfer, and air movement as they impact a building envelope. Creating a comfortable, healthy, sustainable, and energy efficient living environment is the end goal of all building science.
Research conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and The American Lung Association confirms that indoor air quality is the largest growing concern for both commercial and residential buildings. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America has recently ranked indoor air pollution as one of the top five environmental health risks in the United States.
New buildings can often compromised from the start. Infrared thermography is fast becoming recognized as a valuable tool in the building commissioning process for commercial and government buildings. Similarly, new homes and residential complexes can greatly benefit from an infrared scan in order to detect any problems before they become serious liabilities.
