Building & Home Performance
Building Performance Assessment & Home Performance Evaluation
How a building performs affects everything — your energy bills, your comfort, your indoor air quality, and your health. Our Building Performance Assessment takes a whole-building view of how your home or commercial property is functioning, identifying where it's failing and what can be done about it.
What Is a Building Performance Assessment?
A Building Performance Assessment — also called a Home Performance Assessment — is a systematic evaluation of how well a building functions as an integrated system. Rather than looking at individual components in isolation, we evaluate how the structure, mechanical systems, insulation, ventilation, and air quality interact with each other.
In Florida's climate, building performance has a direct impact on indoor humidity levels, mold risk, energy consumption, and occupant comfort. A building that leaks air, has poor HVAC distribution, or lacks adequate ventilation isn't just inefficient — it's a health and moisture risk.
Our assessment is fully independent. We don't sell insulation, HVAC systems, or remediation services. We give you an honest, objective picture of where your building is performing well and where it isn't — so you can make informed decisions and direct any contractors accordingly.
What's Included
- Full building envelope inspection (walls, roof, windows, doors)
- HVAC system evaluation and airflow analysis
- Thermal imaging for heat loss and moisture infiltration
- Indoor air quality and ventilation assessment
- Moisture and humidity profiling throughout the structure
- Insulation performance review
- Pressure testing and air sealing evaluation
- Comprehensive written report with prioritized recommendations
Best For
- Homeowners with high energy bills and unknown causes
- Properties with comfort complaints (hot/cold spots, humidity)
- Pre-purchase building performance due diligence
- Older homes that have never been professionally assessed
- Properties after major weather events or renovations
- Building owners seeking efficiency improvements
Building performance is directly linked to indoor air quality and mold risk. Poor airflow, excessive humidity, and moisture infiltration are the root causes of most indoor air quality problems — and a building performance assessment is often the most complete way to find them.
How It Works
A structured, science-based process from initial consultation to final report.
Initial Consultation
We discuss your concerns, symptoms, and goals so we can tailor the assessment scope to your specific property.
On-Site Evaluation
Our inspectors use thermal imaging, moisture meters, airflow measurement tools, and visual inspection across the entire building envelope and mechanical systems.
Data Analysis
All collected measurements are analyzed against industry benchmarks to identify deficiencies, inefficiencies, and areas of concern.
Detailed Report
You receive a comprehensive written report with findings, photos, prioritized recommendations, and guidance on next steps.
Key Performance Areas We Evaluate
Each of these building systems directly influences indoor environment quality and energy efficiency.
Ventilation & Air Distribution
Assessing how fresh air is delivered and stale air is exhausted throughout the building.
Thermal Envelope
Evaluating insulation, air sealing, and heat transfer through walls, roof, and floors.
Moisture Management
Identifying moisture entry points, condensation risks, and humidity control effectiveness.
HVAC Performance
Reviewing system sizing, efficiency, duct leakage, and distribution balance.
Building Envelope
Inspecting windows, doors, roofing, and structural components for air and water intrusion.
Indoor Air Quality
Measuring and assessing pollutant levels, mold risk indicators, and occupant exposure.
