Forensic Engineering
We provide forensic engineering to diagnose building system failures, identify true root causes, and deliver clear, defensible findings that owners and contractors can act on with confidence.
OVERVIEW
Forensic Engineering
When facilities experience persistent problems or outright failures, we provide forensic engineering support to determine what happened and why. Our focus is to separate symptoms from causes and deliver clear findings that owners and contractors can act on.
Capabilities include:
Root cause analysis for HVAC comfort complaints, humidity issues, pressurization problems, and indoor air quality events
Electrical investigations for nuisance tripping, equipment failures, power quality issues, and reliability concerns
Plumbing and hydronic investigations related to performance, flow, control valves, and temperature control
Building automation and controls troubleshooting including sequence verification, alarming, and trend analysis
We combine site inspections, data logging, controls trend review, and calculations to reconstruct events and confirm cause and effect. Findings are documented in a clear and defensible manner and can be supported by expert testimony when required.
