This presentation will discuss typical claims that our building science and envelope team encounters, from building foundations to rooftops and everything in between. Building enclosures represent boundaries between indoor space, where we spend most of our time, and the outdoors. In Canada, we experience everything from summer heat waves to winter deep freezes. How building enclosures are designed, constructed, and maintained determines the frequency and severity of claims that can be just as varied as our diverse weather conditions. Learn how we combine visual observation, document review, industry knowledge, and weather data to bring clarity to sometimes confounding claims.
