Lake County Courthouse

Building Evaluation

GLE was initially contracted by Lake County to  perform an in-depth building envelope, IAQ, and  water intrusion study for the 100,000+ sq. ft. Lake County Courthouse. Working with Lake County’s construction manager, we investigated the Courthouse building’s envelope to determine the sources of moisture intrusion and elevated humidity. Using our in-house mechanical engineering and industrial hygiene staff, GLE completed an extensive HVAC system assessment evaluation to quantify and identify the presence of mold and other contaminants. In addition, we conducted infrared thermolization testing of the EIFS system, roof areas and other exterior building components to help identify specific areas of moisture intrusion. Based on the findings of our investigations, GLE designed a new roofing and exterior wall system with redundant details to ensure the integrity of the new construction. . The total construction cost of this project was $1,350,000.
