The Building Envelope Survey scope of work included the following services: Inspect and analyze the exterior envelope of each building to identify materials, conditions of same, maintenance issues and expected remaining lifetime. Identify and document energy related deficiencies in the exterior surfaces and penetrations as well as observed interior deficiencies that may be a result of air or vapor barrier or insulation issues.

Develop recommendations for "next steps" including corrective actions and an order of magnitude cost estimate. Deliver formal written report of all findings and recommendations for executing remediation.
