As the building enclosure commissioning provider, SGH worked with the project team during the design phase through performance mockup testing. Highlights of our work include the following:

• Helped establish performance expectations by developing the BECx specification and outlining testing requirements, roles and responsibilities for the project team, and procedures for documenting and resolving construction-related issues
• Reviewed the enclosure design and the owner’s project requirements, and provided recommendations to improve its performance, energy efficiency, and constructability
• Witnessed testing of the two-story performance mockup comprising representative sections of the aluminum unitized curtain wall and window wall, aluminum composite metal panel rainscreen, architectural precast concrete wall, and aluminum windows in punched openings
• Assisted the university by documenting issues with the performance mockup’s construction and associated repairs
