// CLIPS FROM EastPoint Engineering Limited
// LESSONS FROM EastPoint Engineering Limited
Commission the building envelope early in design — catching defects in design is exponentially cheaper than fixing them during or after construction.
Third-party envelope commissioners are welcomed by contractors, not feared — they provide independent validation that protects everyone, including trades proud of their work.
The new energy code's air-leakage requirements mean building owners will need envelope testing on all new projects — subcontractors should price for this work now.
Selling high-performance building products in Atlantic Canada requires mindset change before product demonstration — the market defaults to 'my father built it that way.'
Mass timber conversations in Atlantic Canada are accelerating faster than any other market segment the Rothoblaas rep has seen — budget over-runs, not lack of interest, are the primary bottleneck.
Invest in passive house envelope quality first (R40-R50, airtight) before adding renewable energy systems — the envelope lasts 50-100 years while mechanical systems last 10-20.
