What People Are Saying
Building science is the collection of scientific knowledge that focuses on the physical phenomena affecting buildings. This includes the analysis of building materials and building envelope systems. The purpose of building science is to optimize building performance and understand or prevent building failures.
How materials function in part or as a whole determine whether a building's envelope fails or succeeds. If insufficient materials are used, or materials are not applied in correct sequence, moisture can build, creating serious structural damage, and affecting air quality and building safety. Solving these issues requires thorough testing and analysis, and the proposal of trusted solutions. Forensic Building Consultants acts as a bridge between architects and contractors. Forensic provides recommendations and three-dimensional details to help builders sequence materials correctly from the get go, eliminating costly mistakes and future problems.
