Building science
Like a local tour guide, our Building Science team provides specialized insight and vision to guarantee a quality experience
- Avoid building failures (Example: produce thermal models to predict the risk of condensation on the interior of windows and curtain wall systems)
- Thoroughly review the use of new construction materials, building systems, and methods (Example: Recommend a prefabricated wall system for a project characterized by tight space or schedule)
- Constructability review / risk assessment (Example: Collaborate on a design detail that would reduce disruption to an occupied space while maintaining design intent and cost)
- Optimize building code and energy code compliance decisions for each project (Example: Collaborate with building officials to ensure that CDs adequately address concerns over fire safety)
- Recommend site testing and observation programs to validate building enclosure performance (Example: Create window mock-ups on site to eliminate installation risks)
facility assessments
Like a well informed traveler, KA takes the time to map out decisions using data-driven strategies to complete system audits and facility conditions assessments
- Current asset condition and status: damage, defects, dysfunction
- Deferred maintenance and building deficiencies
- Remedial actions and priorities, facilities condition rating
- Estimated costs for remediation, 10-year budget planning, life-cycle cost analysis
- Prioritization of recommendations, future building strategy
