Envelope Commissioning Continues to Grow

Building envelope commissioning helps to avoid common issues in building construction, including air and water infiltration, indoor air quality issues, mold growth, and energy loss, resulting in reduced energy efficiency, occupant discomfort, and costly contractor call-backs. This is becoming a larger market for Gale as our clients realize the benefits of involving us in the design process. The Department of Capital Asset Management (DCAM) recently awarded Gale with a large contract to provide building envelope commissioning for various facilities throughout Massachusetts.
