Building Engineering Testing

Ensuring Structural Integrity: Building Engineering Testing

Building owners seek a way to guarantee that the building envelope is planned and built to fulfil the required performance standards with the growing demand to build long-lasting, energy-efficient structures.
The best way to guarantee that the building envelope is constructed in accordance with the design intent, expected service life, and code requirements and to help prevent issues that might otherwise arise during construction is to commission the entire building envelope, from the design concept to the end of construction. Air Tightness Testing and Thermal Imaging testing are important quality control measures for new construction and renovation.

Blower Door Air Tightness Testing

A blower door is a machine used to measure the airtightness of buildings. It can also be used to measure airflow between building zones, to test ductwork airtightness, and to help physically locate air leakage sites in the building envelope.
Our experienced professional energy auditors and testing engineers use blower door tests to help determine a building’s airtightness. The test is carried out as per ATTMA, ASTM, and ISO standards for project LEED, Trakhees, Estidama, and Al Sa’fat projects.

Building Thermal Imaging Test

Thermal imaging surveys reveal faults in the thermal insulation of buildings and pinpoint areas where air leaks into or out of them. A straightforward, non-intrusive method called thermal imaging is typically used to identify the so-called “weak” points in the building envelope.
In order to detect anomalous thermal patterns that could be a sign of moisture penetration, damaged insulation, insulation voids, air infiltration, air exfiltration, and anomalies in HVAC and electrical systems, our professionals employ thermal imaging cameras.

Energy Audit and Measurement & Verification (M&V)

In addition to performing audits for ASHRAE Level I, II, and III, our team of skilled Certified Energy Managers (CEM) and Certified Measurement Verification Professionals (CMVP) has also reviewed energy-using systems, analysed energy use, prepared energy budgets, and established baselines from which energy consumption can be tracked over time.
