BUILDING ENVELOPE

                                                                            building and the exterior wood siding is in need of some

                                                                            with stormwater runoff collecting at the rear of the building. Many of

                                                                            (dampness) and poor thermal performance.

                                                                            between the studs, but as any of these walls are exposed, this

                                                                            (see below) but this needs to be investigated to be sure. It was not
