The building enclosure, which really serves as your facility’s skin, is a critical barrier, especially in the demanding life sciences sector. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about performance, protecting your sensitive operations from external elements, maintaining precise internal conditions, and contributing significantly to energy efficiency. Our team designs and engineers building enclosures that are carefully detailed for the unique requirements of laboratories and manufacturing cleanrooms.
Poorly designed or constructed building enclosures can lead to significant issues like air infiltration, moisture intrusion, and uncontrolled heat transfer, directly impacting cleanroom integrity, energy consumption, and equipment reliability. Given that HVAC systems in labs can consume 4–5 times more energy than typical office buildings, a high-performing building enclosure is fundamental to reducing operational costs and supporting sustainability goals. With a high-performance envelope, you can reduce your heating and cooling loads by up to 40%, which can potentially translate into millions of dollars in savings.
We focus on high-performance materials and advanced construction techniques to create a durable, air-tight, and thermally efficient envelope. This includes specialized fenestration (windows), roofing systems, and wall assemblies that minimize thermal bridging and manage vapor transmission, crucial for controlling humidity and temperature in regulated spaces.
Our strategic approach maximizes your capital expenditure funds by increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of your controlled interior environment. This includes:
By addressing aging infrastructure impacts preemptively, we ensure your building enclosure functions as intended, complies with building code, and creates sustainable savings.
