Building Performance is a philosophy and a science based on the premise that buildings should be safe, healthy, comfortable, durable, and efficient.
After all, homes — probably the biggest investment most of us will ever make — are one of the few things we purchase that don't come with an instruction manual. Is a home comfortable? Reasonably energy efficient? Safe and healthy? These are all considerations that a homeowner will either take for granted (we would assume, after all, that the air inside a home wouldn't be a potential health hazard), or simply neglect.
These are the considerations that Safetech sets out to address, while taking into account the interconnectedness of buildings, and the relationships between each of the building's components. In accord with this holistic approach, Safetech will assess, and then address, any of these potential problems.
As mentioned above, building performance is based upon what we call the 5 pillars of performance:
1) Safety: Assessing the safety of a home or building is an important part (maybe the most important) of our team at Safetech. Backdrafting appliances that may be sending carbon monoxide into the home, unsafe levels of hazardous chemicals from building materials, are all potential safety issues that our technicians are trained to address.
2) Health: Indoor air quality is listed by the EPA as one of the top environmental threats to human health. At Safetech it is our job to ensure that your home's indoor air quality is not a threat to you or your family's health.
3) Comfort: Drafty rooms, cold spots, unpleasant humidity and heat in the summer, poor quality lighting or incandescent lighting that creates unnecessary excess heat in the summer, are all avoidable unpleasantries. Safetech's 60 years of experience can provide a simple solution for you and your property.
4) Durability: Imperfections within a building, in addition to causing discomfort raising health concerns, can also have long term repercussions. Moisture problems causing damage to framing, or sub-standard construction practices, are among the durability concerns that Safetech will pinpoint, then provide a simple cost effective solution.
5) Efficiency: Last but not least, building performance is about ensuring that a building is cost effective to live or work in. If a mechanic told you that a few simple improvements could drastically improve the fuel efficiency of your car, that's something most of us would jump on. That's what our technicians at Safetech will do for your home or building.
