Adequate design of a building envelope is one of the best ways to increase a commercial building’s performance. So, implementing the proper testing with a field testing specialist will ensure that a structure functions correctly and complies with relevant building regulations.
Zero/Six (Z6) Consulting field testing specialists in San Antonio, TX, provide local area clients and building project managers with certified field testing services that can pre-diagnose potential building envelope issues.
Common Building Envelope Issues that can derail a high-rise building project include the following:
Field testing services ensure that building project managers, engineers, and construction crews are using optimum products, appropriately installing building materials, and adhering to local and federal safety standards required to complete building projects.
Before building construction begins, commissioning technicians must test building components to ensure interconnecting systems are functioning correctly.
Performance testing sets a standard for the building materials used and the quality of work performed at a site. Here are the benefits of field testing services:
Zero/Six Consulting provides several field testing services for commercial building projects in San Antonio. Partner with Z6 for the following field testing services in and around the metro area. Here are the services we offer:
A significant factor in a building envelope’s inefficiency can be attributed to air leakage, which dramatically increases heating and cooling costs. Z6 performs blower door testing that evaluates HVAC equipment loads and the management of IAQ and condensation risk.
Issues can arise if roofing contractors unintentionally cause even the most minimal damage to equipment and materials installed. Without electronic roof leak testing or ELD, these areas often go unnoticed — until extreme weather reveals the damage.
Z6 Consulting thoroughly tests your roof system’s most vulnerable areas to identify pinhole leaks and breaches for the most efficient diagnosis.
While a roof is an essential part of the building envelope, it is also susceptible to severe weather damage, foot traffic wear, expansion, and contraction.
The installation of unstable roofing systems can result in accelerated roof system deterioration and a decline in function.
Optimum roof system performance and warranty compliance are always top of mind for the team at Z6 — we perform roof membrane uplift resistance testing that identifies installation and design flaws, distinguishes roof life expectancy, and assurance of international compliance of installation materials.
Water seeping through a building’s exterior cracks can destroy a building envelope. Moisture causes major issues that can be detrimental to internal and external systems.
Water penetration testing on doors, exterior windows, curtain walls, and skylights can identify internal water leaks and seepage issues.
