Buildings Were Meant to Perform. When Yours Isn’t, We Can Help

CR-BPS helps identify, understand and solve building performance issues, from design through occupancy and throughout the life of the building.

UNDERSTAND WHY YOUR BUILDING ISN’T PERFORMING

Investigating the Problems Behind Building Performance

A building’s performance depends on how its systems work together. Problems with moisture, air leakage, energy use, comfort or the building enclosure can affect durability, efficiency and occupant experience.
CR-BPS uses building science to investigate what is happening, understand why and identify practical solutions.

BUILDING SCIENCE FOR NEW AND EXISTING BUILDINGS

Addressing Performance Challenges at Every Stage

Whether you are designing a new building or dealing with problems in an existing facility, CR-BPS can help diagnose, analyze, test and verify building performance issues.
Identifying problems early can help reduce costly repairs, improve performance and support better
decisions throughout the life of the building.
