Knollmeyer Building Corp is a trusted exterior building envelope restoration firm based in Cambridge, dedicated to protecting and preserving commercial and institutional buildings.
Our team of professional inspectors assesses all key exterior components—roofs, walls, cladding systems, windows, doors, and waterproofing systems. We document damage, deterioration, or vulnerabilities that could compromise indoor comfort, energy efficiency, or structural integrity.
Knollmeyer prioritizes both regulatory compliance and construction quality. We use durable materials tailored to your building’s needs and the Cambridge climate to ensure lasting repairs.
What Is the Building Envelope?
The building envelope is the physical barrier that separates a building’s interior from the outside. Its components include:
- Sloped roofs
- Exterior walls and façades
- Doors and windows
- Foundations
- Sealants
A damaged building envelope can lead to water and air intrusion, mold growth, structural decay, and high energy costs. Regular maintenance, timely repairs, and proper sealing and insulation are essential to maximizing building performance and complying with energy regulations.
For detailed standards, visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building Envelope Program.
