Volar Barracks Renovation Phases II and III

This project involved the renovation of eight Vietnam-era barracks, varying in size and totaling more than 450,000-sf. NEXUS was contracted to provide technical support for the design and detail of the building envelope and air barrier for all eight structures. This large-scale project required numerous on-site observations during construction. We also assisted with submittal reviews and worked with the contractor as they performed remediation measures to achieve or surpass air leakage requirements.

​

The configuration of the buildings required that we test the buildings from the outside – we could not be inside the facility during testing. This became difficult as we were challenged with monsoon-style rain conditions, which required us to protect our equipment to ensure that pressure tubes attached to our fans remained dry. 

​

We manually tested each building to control air flow throughout the uniquely configured spaces.
