Minnesota State University Moorhead required thorough third-party field testing for the curtainwall installation.

Third-party testing can lead to improved outcomes for several reasons:

  • Objectivity: Provides an unbiased assessment of materials and systems
  • Expertise: Offers specialized knowledge and experience in testing processes
  • Quality Assurance: Ensures that installations meet safety and quality standards
  • Credibility: Enhances the reliability of results for stakeholders
  • Compliance: Helps adhere to industry regulations and building codes
  • Risk Mitigation: Identifies potential issues early to reduce risks

Most building professionals know that air leakage is one of the biggest performance failures in commercial buildings. What is less understood is this: Air leakage doesn't move in only one direction. It can move inward (infiltration) or outward (exfiltration) — and each direction carries its own set of energy, comfort, and moisture-control consequences. Even worse, rolling doors have historically been among the weakest points of the building envelope.
