Data-Driven Solutions for Healthier, More Efficient Homes

"If you're not testing, you're guessing."

At Building Performance Pros, we believe in making decisions based on facts, not assumptions. Building science combines engineering principles with diagnostic technology to understand how your home performs as a system. By analyzing air quality, moisture levels, thermal efficiency, and ventilation, we identify problems you can't see and provide solutions that actually work. Our certified technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to gather precise data about your home's environment, ensuring every recommendation is backed by science.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing

Understanding your home's health requires sophisticated testing equipment and the expertise to interpret the results. Building Performance Pros has invested in state-of-the-art diagnostic tools that reveal hidden issues affecting your comfort, energy bills, and indoor air quality. We don't rely on guesswork, instead we test, measure, and analyze to give you a complete picture of how your home operates and what improvements will make the biggest difference.

Moisture and Mold Investigation

When investigating moisture problems, we use advanced technology to identify hidden water intrusion, assess damage severity, and test for contamination. Our comprehensive approach creates a complete diagnostic picture, allowing us to trace problems to their source and develop effective remediation strategies.

Our team is equipped and trained on these devices:

• Thermal Cameras

• Moisture Meters

• Thermal Hygrometers

• Swab, Air, and Tape Sampling

• Psychrometric Chart

Indoor Air Quality Assessment

Air quality concerns require precise measurement of contaminants, chemical off-gassing, and combustion safety. Our testing equipment identifies pollutants you can't see or smell, ensuring your home's air is safe to breathe and your fuel-burning appliances operate properly.

Our equipment includes:

• Particle Counter

• VOC Sampler

• Gas Detector for CAZ (Combustion Appliance Zone)

• Thermal Hygrometers

Energy Efficiency and HVAC Performance

Energy efficiency investigations reveal where conditioned air escapes, how well your HVAC system performs, and what improvements will reduce your utility bills. We measure air leakage, pressure imbalances, and airflow distribution to optimize your home's thermal envelope and mechanical systems.

Our devices include:

• Blower Doors

• Duct Blasters

• Manometers

• Anemometers

• Laser Thermometers

• Thermal Cameras

Science-Based Solutions

With comprehensive diagnostic data in hand, we develop targeted solutions that address your home's specific issues. Whether you need improved insulation, air sealing, ventilation upgrades, moisture control, or HVAC optimization, our recommendations are rooted in measurable results. We can even provide before-and-after testing to demonstrate the impact of improvements. When it comes to your home's performance, testing eliminates guesswork and ensures you invest in solutions that truly make a difference.
