SGH assisted with the design of building enclosure renovations, including:

• Constructing new brick masonry veneer walls with concrete masonry backup
• Adding insulation to existing exterior mass masonry walls
• Removing and replacing existing roofing systems, skylights, and parapet walls

Highlights of our work include:

• Reviewing the proposed building enclosure design and recommending ways to improve performance
• Helping develop details for the new systems and to integrate abutting systems
• Evaluating moisture migration through walls and between spaces
• Using computer simulation models to assess the thermal performance and condensation resistance of the proposed window systems, exterior wall assemblies, and interior walls around humidified spaces
