A commercial construction client called asking us to assess the energy efficiency of a storage facility they had recently built. This storage facility has approximately 200 units with a mix of heated and unheated units. The first-floor exterior units are larger, unheated units that are...

If you’ve been receiving a lot of complaints about the comfort of your facility, then you might have an air leakage issue. Tenant comfort is not just about controlling the temperature of your facility or making sure you offer the right amenities. Air leakage reduction...

Testing a building’s envelope has become a game of chasing air. While there has been a great deal of progress made in increasing a building’s energy efficiency and diagnosing deficiencies in air barriers, there’s still a lot left to do. Because we often work with older...

Last week we performed qualitative testing of an air barrier system at a new commercial facility using air leakage testing. Utilizing a globe system hooked up to a pressure fan we were able to provide QC inspections throughout the project to determine if the air...

Many multi-family development projects that are tied to tax credits must meet strict energy efficiency standards.   We have worked on several projects that had to score below HERS 50 and we are currently working on one that will be HERS 0.

In April of 2014, we performed ACOE testing including air barrier tests on 4 military buildings in Indianapolis, IN.  The largest building had a building envelope area well over 100,000 s.f.  The buildings were amazingly tight as we are seeing a vast improvement in air barrier details and construction monitoring.

As part of a retro-commissioning project at a military base in Florida, TSI performed Air Barrier Testing, Building Envelope Scans, and Pressure Diagnostics for 31 existing buildings.   The goal of the project was to develop a baseline that could be used to determine priorities for energy improvements in these buildings.

TSI just performed an air barrier test of a 37,000 sf building for the Army Corps.  This building has 2 sections:  an office area and a warehouse area, which can often complicate the air barrier test because warehouse areas are much more difficult to test and maintain a minimal amount of air leakage.
