Wall Assembly Modeling
Because wall and roof assemblies are becoming more complex and less tolerant to moisture, the behavior and interaction of the assembly requires close examination. This analysis requires a technical knowledge of hygrothermal processes, vapor diffusion and heat transfer – skills that typical architects aren’t trained in.
We closely examine the assembly layer by layer, providing insight into the potential condensation problems inside the wall.
The building enclosure separates the indoor environment from the elements. A robust understanding of materials, enclosure assemblies, and mechanical HVAC systems is required to effectively resolve many of the failures that plague today’s buildings.
We understand that drainage planes, air barriers, and vapor retarders are critical components of a wall assembly and that their installation varies depending on climate. Our unique whole building sets us apart and enables us to provide technical assistance in a variety of ways.
Apollo BBC professionals have the technical backgrounds and hands-on experience to effectively diagnose and resolve building envelope failures, whether during the design, construction, or operation of a building.
We would be delighted to discuss ways that Apollo BBC can put our expertise to work for you. We can be reached via telephone at 800.370.5456 or via email at info@apollobbc.com.
