 Optimize Your Colorado

Building's Energy Efficiency

Decarbonize and Reduce Overhead

Airtight | Cool | Dry Envelopes

Sustainability Upgrades that Increase NOI & Asset Value. We deliver custom projects that increase building efficiency and decrease operating costs, helping our clients meet ESG, decarbonization goals & building performance laws.

Is there something I can do for my Colorado building's shell?

A bit of good news to start: you don't have to replace insulation to improve thermal performance. Our solutions for reducing  unnecessary energy use due to uncontrolled heat moving out of or into the building shell is non-invasive. No ripping out walls or replacing insulation. We optimize what you have. Once the building is no longer loosing or gaining heat excessively, accurately resizing HVAC for optimal efficiency is now possible.

We improve thermal performance by recognizing heat, air and moisture (HAM) all travel together. When you reduce one you effect them all. Stopping air leaks is the same as stopping heat. Stop heat and you reduce vapor and air drive. When humidity is reduced indoor air quality is improved.

To address this, we change the way buildings manage heat. A building that’s cool, dry and air tight makes everything else more energy efficient. Efficient enclosures are essential for a healthy profitable building and a vibrant world. We drive value creation in previously underutilized, undervalued or inefficient buildings through highly leveraged building restoration improvements.

 

 

Optimize Energy Efficiency

  • Eco Shell Solutions specialty is making the building shell Cool, Dry and Airtight with the BEAT® air leak energy audit method and an unequaled Thermal Barrier Coating.
  • Manage heat movement into and out of your building shell with passive solutions that lower overhead and decarbonize.
  • Our services contribute to a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment.
  • By minimizing air leakage and heat filtration, we help maintain consistent indoor temperatures and improve overall building performance, enhancing occupant satisfaction and productivity.

Investment-Grade Analysis

  • BEAT® air leak energy audits provide investment-grade insights, offering you a detailed and actionable report on your building's energy performance.
  • This level of analysis ensures that you make informed decisions that maximize the return on your energy efficiency investments.
  • RS Means data ensures your construction procurement data is as accurate as possible for your location.
  • Our detailed report lays out your ROI for money spent, GHG emissions and carbon saved. Keep your heat.

Building Performance

  • The Thermal Barrier Coating lowers maintenance and increases performance by reducing thermal bridging and cycling that cause heat penetration and water leaks.
  • The Thermal Barrier Coating creates a long lasting continuous WRB and A/V Retarder (semi permeable for Heat/Air/Humidity/Noise) for the envelope.
  • Make your building cool by stopping up to 96% total solar radiation (heat) from overheating the surface (UV-IR). 0.91 emissivity releases 91% of heat back into the air.
  • That keeps any surface a few degrees above ambient. Outdoors and inside. Cool and dry.

Services

Air Leaks

Airtight: BEAT® Investment Grade Envelope Energy Audits

Our primary service is conducting investment grade air leakage energy audits for non-residential building envelopes in Colorado and surrounding states.

We assess the building envelope, including walls, roofs, windows, and doors, to identify potential improvements. Our team recommends solutions that enhance thermal efficiency and reduce air movement.

  1. The BEAT® audit uses EC 128/ALCAP method to generate the report

  2. It's accepted by 179D assessment boards and potentially qualifies the Owner for 179D Tax Credits

  3. Quick and efficient process gets the audit done in under a day and is available in 1-2 weeks

Our team of experts ensures that each audit is thorough, providing valuable data for informed decision-making.

We offer vertically integrated services to reduce your workload and maintain the high level of craftsmanship we all want and deserve.

Cool: Thermal Barrier Coating

Turn your Colorado building into an urban cool island.

Reduce solar heat gain and wind washing without costly and disruptive construction. Our building envelope optimization service is designed to improve the overall performance of non-residential structures.

Our best in class thermal barrier coating stops 95% of all solar heat, including 99% of IR heat and UV, keeping your building a few degrees above ambient. This effectively stops thermal cycling, thermal bridging and a lot of envelope damage. 

A high emissivity rating (0.91) means it releases 91% of heat absorbed while also slowing the movement of air and humidity. This makes it a great choice for indoor roof decks. Especially after air sealing.

Blocking/reducing Heat/Air/Moisture is a critical asset in the life of a building. These natural forces reduce the shell's effectiveness. This restores the wall's capacity to operate at or near intended design criteria.

By addressing these critical areas, building owners can achieve significant energy savings and improve indoor comfort. This service is ideal for those looking to invest in sustainable building practices and reduce their environmental impact.

Dry: Waterproofing

For retrofit applications like this, waterproofing often starts at the roof. A flat roof is normally the problem child of every facility manager and O&M person.

The ultimate cause of many roof problems is the sun. Either the UV is degrading materials and causing embritlement or the IR (heat) is causing too much expansion and contraction for the degraded materials to keep up.

My Thermal Barrier Coating solves both these problem by blocking 99% of both UV and IR spectrum. It keeps a surface a few degrees above ambient. Very handy for hot climates like Texas, New Mexico or Arizona.

Other waterproofing issues are flashing, cracks, condensation and rain. My solutions work equally well for positive, negative and blind side applications.

Water based fluid applied solution absorbs into concrete, expands in the capillaries and makes the concrete impervious to water. It increases surface strength, and hardens indoor and outdoor concrete surfaces, helping reduce: dusting, crazing, concrete cracking, freeze-thaw damage, deicing chemical damage, and efflorescence.

  • Roof restoration and repair
  • Stop thermal cycling

  • Concrete/CMU waterproofing

  • Concrete crack repair and waterproofing

  • Dry look concrete waterproofing for historical structures

  • H/AM resistant coatings

We make sure unwanted water or moisture problems stop causing you problems by addressing source issues.
