MISSION: BUILDING SCIENCE UPDATE
Wind-driven rain doesnât have to create an obvious leak to affect a building. New research shows that moisture retained within wall assemblies can actually increase heat transfer and reduce real-world thermal performance.
Thatâs why thermal imaging alone doesnât tell the whole story. At Team Patriot, we combine thermal anomalies, moisture readings, weather history, and building-envelope knowledge to understand whatâs actually happening behind the wall.
The building is always telling you something, you just have to know how to read it.
