Building Safety Code Review and Energy Audits
Thorough safety code reviews and energy audits for condominium engineering in Edmonton to ensure compliance and identify energy efficiency improvements.
Condominium Review Study (CRS)
A Condominium Review Study (CRS) combines a Reserve Fund Study (RFS) and a Building Envelope Study (BES). It’s crucial for planning the financial future of condominiums, offering a holistic view of the building’s physical and financial health.
- Reserve Fund Study (RFS): Evaluates a property’s condition and capital requirements.
- Building Envelope Study (BES): Assesses the exterior elements like walls, roofs, and windows for performance and vulnerabilities.
- Experts in building codes ensure high resale standards.
- Extensive experience in structural evaluations.
- Provides virtual assessments and various project options.
- Regular building envelope inspections prevent invasive and costly repairs.
Combining RFS and BES provides comprehensive insight, avoiding the common mistake of relying solely on RFS for building function updates. Regular analysis of the building envelope is crucial for maintaining the building’s health and avoiding unexpected repairs.
- Ensures informed decision-making.
- Protects condominium value.
- Offers cost savings by combining studies.

Building Envelope Study
The building envelope comprises walls, roofs, windows, and doors, serving as the first defense against environmental elements like precipitation, wind, temperature, humidity, and UV radiation. It includes all components that work together to maintain a comfortable internal environment.
Building Envelope Study (BES)
A BES is a comprehensive evaluation of the building’s exterior elements to determine their condition, performance, and potential vulnerabilities. It involves a detailed examination of walls, roofs, windows, doors, insulation, and related components through visual inspections, diagnostic testing, and analysis.
Benefits of Conducting a BES with TOK Engineering
Early identification of damage, deterioration, leaks, or weaknesses to prevent further damage and preserve structural stability.
Evaluates insulation levels, air leakage, thermal bridging, and fenestration using drone technology and thermographic imaging. Separate Energy Audit Reviews can also be conducted to highlight energy inefficiencies.
Utilizes drones with thermographic cameras for inspecting hard-to-reach areas and identifying energy loss.
Examines moisture barriers, flashing systems, and drainage mechanisms to prevent water damage, mold growth, and costly repairs.
Evaluates materials, construction methods, and protective systems to recommend strategies for enhanced durability.
Ensures the building envelope meets local codes and regulations, identifying and correcting code violations to minimize legal risks.
Provides a comprehensive understanding of the building’s envelope condition, potential risks, and recommended improvements to protect property value.
Reserve Fund Study (RFS)
A Reserve Fund Study is a thorough financial assessment of a condominium’s physical condition and anticipated capital requirements over time. It helps in planning and budgeting for future repairs, replacements, and major renovations, ensuring long-term financial stability by evaluating common property systems, structures, and components.
