Independent building envelope consulting, testing, commissioning, and diagnostics — serving architects, owners, and builders across Vermont and the Northeast.
From design-phase reviews to post-occupancy monitoring, GMEC covers the full life of a building enclosure.
A full suite of BECx services that helps deliver efficient, durable, code-compliant envelopes — from OPR development through post-occupancy lessons learned. Design review, submittal review, field observations, compliance verification, and final airtightness testing.
Learn more →Whole building multi-point airtightness testing, guided leakage diagnostics with IR imaging, non-destructive investigation and inventory of building assemblies and fenestration types, heat loss energy modeling, and clear written reports for existing buildings of any size — from tiny houses to commercial and institutional.
Learn more →Customized long-term monitoring using WiFi- or cellular-enabled battery-powered sensors embedded in building assemblies. Track temperature, humidity, wood moisture, CO, CO₂, building air pressure, exterior weather, and A/C energy use — for up to 15 years.
Learn more →Upfront embodied-carbon accounting for building materials, using BEAM's dimensional models and global EPD database. Category-wide and component-level comparisons that inform emissions-reduction decisions during design.
Learn more →GMEC has developed (and is continually refining) a free, single-file web tool to help the airtightness testing community prepare clean, professional whole-building test plans from construction PDFs — boundaries, blower-door locations, reference tubes, temporary seals, notes, and RFIs.

We are a multi-disciplined practice focused entirely on the performance of building enclosures.
We're local to the Green Mountains, familiar with the Northeast climate and building stock, and comfortable working anywhere from a tiny house in Lincoln to a commercial building in Burlington.
We don't sell products or favor manufacturers. Our recommendations are based on performance and code — not vendor relationships.
Design review, construction-phase diagnostics, final verification, and long-term monitoring — one consultant across the whole project.
Our deliverables are written so owners, architects, and code officials can all act on them. No boilerplate reports, no fluff.
Commissioning, a one-off test, a monitoring install, or just a second opinion — reach out and we'll figure out whether we're a fit.
