BUILDING SCIENCE

For homes and buildings to work as a system, proper building science must be applied for any work done on the home. Things such as air flow, heat transfer and moisture movement all work according to their own physical principles, and interact with a building’s envelope components and mechanical systems. A high-performance building protects against negative consequences of the elements, while a failure in the system can be disastrous for a building and it’s occupants.

Meadowlark Energy was founded by and is staffed with building science experts. Our mission is to make the most energy efficient and healthy homes in America. We do this by applying the best products and workmanship available to the homes and businesses we work on.

THE PROBLEM

The United States consumes 25% of the world’s energy supplies with only 5% of the world’s population. This enormous waste costs building owners dearly over time and money leaves our country, our state, and our municipalities with little benefit to local economies. Buildings are the biggest consumer of energy in the United States, about 40% of the total consumption.

THE SOLUTION

By investing in better buildings, the owner saves twice. They live and work in buildings that are more comfortable and healthy, and cost less to maintain. They also save money in ongoing operational costs, which increases dramatically over time. This money can be invested in our local economies, which creates jobs and opportunity.

Better buildings happen when all systems in a building work together. Although optimizing any one system is a good first step, different systems in a building interact with each other. By optimizing heating, cooling, ventilation, and insulation together, an owner can achieve deeper savings, better comfort and healthy interior air.
