Tracy is an expert in materials science and moisture mitigation in envelope systems, two key components that define the performance and service life of contemporary and historical built assets. Through her industry-recognized expertise, she understands not only how components interact and degrade, but also how to restore and enhance systems for improved performance and to prolong the service life of buildings. Tracy's knowledge gives facilities managers and owners confidence in solutions that effectively address immediate priorities and inform long-term master planning and preservation goals.
