BUILDING FAILURE INVESTIGATIONS




Original Source: Building Science Corporation. Modified by Innova to illustrate the site specific conditions leading to soil gas infiltration and excess comfort leaks.

 

New Brunswick, NJ.  Innova's investigation of soil gas odors in this newly renovated 60 unit apartment building revealed that the cause was due to significant building depressurization. Innova quantified the depressurizing effects of the buildings stack pressure, its flues, and its poorly designed mechanical ventilation and ducting arrangements, and we prescribed an elegant low-tech pressure-balancing solution.
