Black Irish Designs — Building diagnostics, smart control, custom craft

Start where you are

Four doors. One standard.

The same rigor serves a homeowner, a contractor, an architect, and an attorney — but each needs to hear something different. Pick your door.

Find out why — then make it better.

Drafty rooms, high bills, stale air, or a pipe you worry about while you're away — we show you exactly what's going on.
Then we fix it: room-by-room zoning, air quality, automated shades, and lighting chosen for your home.
Plus the everyday luxury of a high-end home — bedside control, switches where you want them, no new wire.

How we work

Examine. Understand. Improve. Verify.

A building can pass on paper and still be failing at the junctions that matter. So we don't guess — we instrument it.

01 / Measure

Quantify the air

Blower door and duct testing measure how the building performs — and flag the code thresholds that leakage triggers.

02 / Image

See the invisible

Thermal imaging reveals where heat, air, and moisture move behind finished surfaces.

03 / Document

Capture it exactly

3D laser scanning records the building exactly as it stands, as a measurable point cloud.

04 / Solve

Fix it, then prove it

Controls, craft, or construction close the gap — and monitoring shows the result actually held.
