Have you been feeling uncomfortably warm or cold in your home? The abrupt change in termperature could be a sign that your building envelope needs repairs. Learn more about ways to tell if you should renovate your building envelope by reading the information below:
1. Leaks – If you have noticed leaks in air or water lately, it may be time to update your building envelope. If you have a leak in your home, there could be severe water damage to the structure of your house if the leak is left unaddressed. Air leaks, such as letting warm air escape and cold air enter, are of particular concern in the winter months. Don't let your building envelope make you and your guests or clients uncomfortable.
2. Mould – when a leak persists in your home or commercial premises, mould often begins to grow. A small amount of mould is easily managed with a professional contractor's help. However, unmanaged mould can cause severe structural damage that could be come very costly to remediate. Exposure to large amounts of mould can also pose a health threat to the people in your home or business.
3. Dated Structure – Depending on when your home or office was built, the building envelope may be structurally outdated. Utilizing interesting design techniques and structures is a useful way to improve the style and performance of your home's building envelope.
4. High Energy Use – If you have noticed your energy bills have been higher than usual, you could have a problem with your building envelope. Holes or vulnerabilities in the building envelope may be causing you to use more heat or air conditioning than necessary. Updating the building envelope can save you money on your energy bills during the cold and warm months.
