Services
Building Envelope Commissioning
3iVE provides comprehensive building envelope commissioning (BECx) services to ensure high-performance exteriors. Our process includes LEED compliance support, mock-up testing, field inspections, and thermographic analysis. We collaborate with design and construction teams to identify and resolve air leakage, water infiltration, and insulation issues. Our services guarantee energy efficiency, structural integrity, and long-term durability for institutional and commercial buildings.
Infrared Thermography
Our certified thermography services detect hidden building performance issues like air leaks, moisture intrusion, and thermal inefficiencies. Using advanced infrared technology, we diagnose problems in roofs, walls, and windows non-invasively. This data-driven approach helps clients address mold risks, energy loss, and structural vulnerabilities. Our reports include actionable recommendations for remediation and performance optimization.
Architectural Design
3iVE offers architectural design services for new constructions and renovations, focusing on functional, aesthetic, and sustainable solutions. We integrate material compatibility analysis, construction sequencing, and local labor considerations into our designs. Our team ensures compliance with LEED standards while maintaining the architect's vision. Services include schematic reviews, detail development, and construction document specifications.
Exterior Consulting
We provide expert consulting for exterior building systems, including specification reviews, shop drawing coordination, and field testing. Our team addresses technical challenges during design and construction phases to prevent costly failures. Services include submittal reviews, RFI resolution, and quality assurance protocols. We ensure exterior assemblies meet performance goals and regulatory requirements.
Thermographic Inspections
3iVE conducts thermographic inspections to identify thermal anomalies, moisture intrusion, and air leakage points in buildings. Our certified technicians use infrared imaging to assess roof, wall, and window performance. This diagnostic tool helps prioritize repairs, improve energy efficiency, and prevent mold growth. Inspections are often paired with air leakage testing for comprehensive performance analysis.
