The term "building envelope" refers to a barrier that shields the interior of the building from the elements outside. In more detail, the building envelope makes sure that air, moisture, and other elements don't get into a building. Building envelopes are an important consideration for building performance.

The inside of a structure or construction, including its delicate electrical systems, is adequately shielded by the building exterior. This mostly serves to prevent interior moisture intrusion. This can result from more typical occurrences like rain and snow or from water freezing and swelling within the construction's joints, which changes the building's structural soundness and integrity.

ABSI offers our specialized expertise in building envelope sciences through a variety of services that are targeted to meet the specific needs of each client or project. We can perform on-site investigations and testing to help you fully understand the cause and resolution of your building envelope concerns and provide knowledgeable building condition assessments to help you plan for the future.
