Project Details
Client: New York University
Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE
Services Provided: Civil Thermography to Complement Blower Door Testing
Project Overview
New York University in Abu Dhabi entrusted Cornerstone with a vital task—to conduct a comprehensive assessment of their building's thermal performance. Our objective was to pinpoint areas of air leakage and thermal inefficiency, ultimately enhancing energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
Scope of Work
- Blower Door Testing: We meticulously performed blower door testing to quantify air infiltration and exfiltration rates in the building envelope.
- Civil Thermography: Leveraging advanced thermal imaging technology, we complemented blower door testing by identifying thermal anomalies and areas of heat loss within the building structure.
- Data Analysis: Our experts analyzed the thermal imaging data to precisely pinpoint areas of concern, including thermal bridging, inadequate insulation, and building envelope defects.
- Recommendations: Based on our findings, we provided tailored recommendations for remedial actions aimed at improving the building's thermal performance and energy efficiency.
Benefits to the Client
- Enhanced Energy Efficiency: By identifying and addressing thermal deficiencies, we helped reduce energy consumption and lower utility costs.
- Improved Comfort: Our interventions minimized drafts and temperature differentials, ensuring a more comfortable indoor environment for students, faculty, and staff.
- Cost Savings: Through targeted improvements to the building envelope, we facilitated long-term cost savings on heating and cooling expenses.
- Environmental Sustainability: Our efforts contributed to the university's sustainability goals by optimizing energy usage and reducing its carbon footprint.
Conclusion
The successful completion of the civil thermography project at New York University underscores Cornerstone's commitment to leveraging innovative technologies to enhance building performance and sustainability.
