Is your glass
performing
or just installed?
We read buildings the way a surgeon reads an X-ray — diagnosing failed seals, specifying low-E coatings, and writing performance specs that keep curtain walls from weeping condensation at 3 a.m.
Every failed IGU tells the same story.
The ending is always in the spacer.
Hover each layer to understand where your building's thermal envelope is losing the fight. The diagnosis starts here — at the cross-section, not the invoice.
The 5-step Glass Health assessment maps your symptoms to the most probable root cause in under 3 minutes.
What your building looks like
at 4 a.m. in January.
Thermal imaging reveals the failure map that visual inspection misses entirely. Every amber bloom is a dollar leaving the building.
We follow every thermal scan with a layer-by-layer material analysis and a written performance specification that tells your contractor exactly what to replace, in what order, and to what standard.
Three problems.
One diagnostic discipline.
Fogged IGUs in a 22-year-old atrium. Maintenance has caulked it twice. It came back.
You're managing a $4M envelope replacement budget and don't know which units actually need replacement vs. which can be resealed.
- Full IGU condition survey with unit-by-unit triage report
- Replacement priority matrix — critical / monitor / acceptable
- Spec package your glazing contractor can bid against
Specifying a triple-glazed passive house façade. Your client wants PHPP compliance. The glazing manufacturer's data sheet doesn't match your energy model.
The performance gap between manufacturer claims and installed performance is real — and it's your liability.
- Third-party U-value and g-value verification
- Low-E coating specification for position 2 vs. 3 vs. 4
- Performance spec language for contract documents
You failed the mock-up test at 12 PSF. The owner's rep is on-site Monday. You need someone who can read the test data tonight and tell you exactly what failed.
A failed mock-up costs $40–80k per week of delay. You need a diagnosis in hours, not weeks.
- Same-day test data review and failure analysis
- Written corrective action protocol for the glazing sub
- On-site presence for re-test — available within 48 hours
Harborview Research Center
Boston, MA — PHIUS+ Certified, 2024
An 11-story research facility where the passive house certification lived or died on the glazing specification. The architect's energy model showed a 0.24 U-value. We delivered 0.18.
"Glaze caught a coating specification error that would have cost us our PHIUS certification. They found it at schematic design — not after the glass was installed."
Diagnose before you spend.
Three minutes. No obligation.
Glass Health Assessment
Five questions. Three minutes. A preliminary diagnosis that maps your symptoms to the most probable failure mode — and a recommendation tier that tells you how urgent the response needs to be.
No sales pitch until you've seen your score.
