Abstract
A major responsibility of a facility manager is to ensure that his or her bulding is as watertight, energy-efficient, and safe as possible. This often means investigating and evaluating the building envelope (roof, walls, windows, waterproofing, and structure) to define and resolve existing problems as well as to eliminate future problems, thereby extending the service life of the building. Whether an owner is investigating a leakage problem themselves or he's hired a consultant for a larger-scale investigation, this approach can serve as a guide to determining and repairing problems with the building envelope.
