Post-Construction Energy Support
Your build is complete, but challenges may still arise. AJEC specializes in helping builders address homeowner complaints related to comfort, air leakage, and moisture issues. We assist in managing homeowner expectations while educating them on the operation of their new home and the impact of their behavior on its performance.
If legitimate issues with the building envelope are identified, we provide expert cause analysis and repair solutions, including:
- Blower-Door Testing: Detecting potential compromises in the air barrier.
- Thermographic Imaging: Assessing the building envelope for performance gaps.
- Repair Evaluations: Inspecting “handyman” fixes that may impact envelope integrity.
Builders receive a confidential report detailing our findings and recommendations, empowering you to address concerns effectively while maintaining customer satisfaction. Let AJEC help you resolve issues and uphold your reputation for quality.
