By engaging revolutionary software and employing diagnostic tools such as thermal imaging, RJC is best suited to identify and remediate a structure’s existing condition so that a buildings optimal performance level is realized.
Sustainable Building Enclosure Engineering
RJC practices environmentally responsible design by using LEED or other innovative systems to design sustainable buildings.
A building's envelope is often the feature most responsible for energy consumption. A well-designed façade reduces energy consumption and the costs and materials needed for repairs.
RJC's building science experts are mindful of the energy used to create, distribute, install, use, re-use or recycle the materials we use to enclose a building. We design building envelope systems that provide the best overall cost solutions and the lowest environmental and social impact.
