Field Testing and Monitoring

Field testing and monitoring document building enclosure performance in real-world conditions, capturing data to support building performance monitoring and in-situ evaluation of materials, assemblies, and system behavior. Work may include discrete testing and ongoing observation, with results supporting research initiatives, product development, and performance-based analysis.

• Airtightness testing and air leakage assessments generate datasets used to benchmark enclosure performance and study variability across conditions and time.
• Water penetration testing evaluates system response under repeatable and in-situ conditions to better understand enclosure behavior.
• Infrared thermography scanning is used to analyze thermal performance patterns and identify trends across assemblies and environments.
• Tracer smoke testing and electronic detection document air and moisture movement pathways to support system-level analysis.
• Adhesion and pull-off testing contributes to understanding material performance, durability, and field application variables.
• Moisture assessments track conditions within enclosure assemblies to evaluate performance trends and long-term behavior.
