An existing system survey will let the owner/engineer know how much flow each system has, how much outside air is entering, how much exhaust is leaving, and what the condition and flow is of the hydronic systems through out the facility. Novagreen also offers thermal imaging services that enable the company to accurately identify any vulnerable areas inside a building envelope, and recommend the most cost-efficient thermal improvements for any mitigating heat leakage. The activities and successes of Novagreen’s operations are driven by its client’s satisfaction.
