About us
Better science. Better buildings. Better living.
Carolina Building Enclosure & Performance Consulting is a Charlotte‑based building science firm dedicated to creating durable, efficient, and resilient buildings across the Carolinas. We specialize in moisture management, high‑performance design, and building enclosure diagnostics tailored to the unique challenges of our hot‑humid climate.
Our work blends technical precision with practical, real‑world solutions. Whether supporting architects, builders, developers, or homeowners, we ensure buildings perform better, last longer, and avoid costly failures.
Our Core Capabilities
Passive House Consulting
Certified Passive House design support from pre-design through certification. We ensure airtight enclosures, thermal bridge-free details, and future-proof performance.
Performance Testing + Diagnostics
Onsite diagnostics including blower door tests, thermal imaging, and moisture assessment. We identify failures before they become costly problems.
Building Performance Analytics
Data-driven modeling and hygrothermal analysis to predict the behavior of assemblies- in our mixed-humid climate- over time.
Building Envelope Consulting
Comprehensive enclosure design review focused on durability, moisture management, and energy efficiency for long-term resilience.
Moisture & Mold Mitigation
Humidity control strategies, vapor barrier design, and condensation risk analysis tailored to hot-humid climates.
Energy Code Compliance
Support meeting IECC, REScheck, and local energy code requirements through documentation and performance path
Forensic Building Investigations
Root-cause analysis for envelope failures, water intrusion, and premature material degradation.
Construction Observation
Site visits during critical phases to verify enclosure details are installed correctly. Ensuring design intent is executed in the field.
