What is a building envelope?
The building envelope is a term used in building science to describe the many building systems that protect the interior of the building from exterior elements. Building envelopes include the exterior walls, foundations, roof, windows and doors. The performance of the building envelope is impacted by a number of sub-systems, such as heating, cooling and ventilating equipment, plumbing and electrical systems.

Ultimately, a quality inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s effort. I guarantee that I will give you my very best.
