Manage moisture before it becomes damage.
We assess moisture-related risk in enclosure assemblies using building science analysis and hygrothermal evaluation. Our work helps project teams understand condensation risk, rainwater control, vapor behavior, and drying potential so problems can be identified early and practical mitigation strategies can be implemented.
Evaluation of assemblies and details to identify vulnerability to moisture accumulation.
Modeling and technical review of vapor movement, condensation potential, and drying behavior.
Assessment of drainage, flashing, and water-management strategies.
Review of environmental conditions and enclosure interfaces where condensation may occur.
Consideration of how moisture exposure may affect long-term enclosure performance.
Practical recommendations to reduce mold risk, material degradation, and premature failure.
Understand the enclosure conditions, assemblies, and exposure risks.
Assess moisture behavior, drying potential, and likely failure mechanisms.
Develop practical recommendations to reduce risk and improve resilience.
Support the team in implementing moisture-control strategies.
CBEPC is led by Vincent Ellis, a PHIUS Certified Consultant (CPHC®) with a Master of Building Science, using WUFI and THERM modeling to evaluate real-world enclosure performance.
