Install Through-Wall flashing at Steel Lintels, Remove Corrosion From Structural Steel Lintels and Coat with Corrosion Inhibiting Paint, Install Sheet Metal Fashing with Drip Edge Where Necessary Within the Next 3 Years
Through-wall flashing was not originally present at window, door, and other openings. However, drip edge flashing appeared to have been added at a few locations. Exposed steel lintels at many locations are forming pack rust. Through-wall flashings are not present on these lintels. Lintels over and adjacent to window openings in brick cladding are corroded. Pack rust formation can apply pressure on the brick cladding and cause deterioration of the cladding. Corrosion also results in the loss of section of the steel lintels, which reduces strength and stiffness of the steel lintels. This condition warrants repair to prevent further damage to embedded steel and brick cladding, and to prevent water entry into and through the exterior walls.
The exposed steel should be cleaned, corrosion removed and coated with a corrosion inhibiting paint to minimize future corrosion/ deterioration. Install through-wall flashing at existing steel lintels. Install sheet metal flashing with drip edge where necessary.

Repoint Mortar Joints and Replace Cracked/Spalled Brick, Repair Bricks at Steel Bolts and Anchors
In general, the brick masonry façade appears to be in good condition for its age.
Cracked mortar joints between the brick units were noted at several locations and vertical cracking was observed in isolated areas. Cracked, spalled, and broken bricks were also observed. Localized mortar deterioration and isolated brick cracking/spalling is present. These conditions are generally attributable to long term exposure to the elements. Vertical cracks located at corners are likely attributable to a lack of control joints on the façade. Step cracking in the brick facade is likely due to differential settlement.
Mortar is missing at one corner of brick full height. The joint with missing mortar full-height was likely cut for an expansion joint, but no sealant was installed.
General maintenance of brick cladding, including tuckpointing and replacement of damaged brick, is not needed at this time. However, a brick maintenance project to repoint deteriorated mortar joints and replace cracked/spalled brick should be planned in approximately 4 to 6 years.
Steel rods and plates are protruding from the façade at a few locations. The brick surrounding these rods and plates has rust stains and the brick has spalled. The unfinished steel rod and plate corroded due to being exposed to the elements. Although some brick may have broken during the original installation, the majority of the brick damage at lintels is due to moisture intrusion/condensation through the bolt penetrations and the freeze/thaw cycle cracking and spalling the brick.
The purpose of this steel should be investigated further to determine whether they can be removed or if they require protection while repairing the adjacent brick. If abandoned, remove and repair brick masonry. If in use, determine if thermal transfer is occurring and eliminate thermal transfer during the brick repairs.

Replace Sealant at Doors, Windows, and Control Joints
Exterior sealant at windows, doors, corners, and other areas of the façade is in poor condition. Weathering, splitting, debonding, and cracking of sealant was observed throughout the façade.
Exterior sealants deteriorate as a result of exposure to UV light, moisture, and temperature cycles. Sealants typically have a lifespan of 8-12 years depending on material, material quality, and application/configuration.
Based on observed conditions, it appears that the sealants on the building have reached or exceeded their useful life.
Sealants are an important component of the exterior building envelope and in many cases are the first line of defense in preventing water entry into and through exterior walls. Deteriorated sealants greatly increase the potential for water entry.
Replace all window and door perimeter, control joint, and penetration sealant at the building façade, as well as any miscellaneous sealants present. These repairs should be completed in the next 0-3 years.

Add Dehumidification and Powered Relief to Gym Air Handling Unit
The Primary School Gym is currently being served by a 2021 air handling unit (AHU) with hot water heating but no means of dehumidification.
The lack of dehumidification results in higher humidity levels and occupant discomfort in the gym. The gym is also unable to meet the American Society of Heating and Refrigeration Engineer’s (ASHRAE) Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy Standard 55. This ASHRAE design standard specifies the combinations of personal and indoor thermal environmental requirements necessary to achieve an occupant comfort satisfaction rate of 80% or greater. These indoor environmental requirements include temperature, thermal radiation, humidity, and air speed.
Nexus recommends adding a new DX dehumidification coil to the air handling unit to allow for dehumidification of the code required ventilation air to the gym. The coil would be mated with a new air-cooled condensing unit (ACCU) and refrigerant piping would be extended to the air handling unit as required.
Nexus also recommends adding powered relief to the gym in lieu of gravity relief. Powered relief systems provide enhanced control, efficiency, and adaptability compared to traditional gravity relief systems, contributing to better overall performance and operational benefits in air handling units.
