The follow is a summary of our observations,opinions, and recommendations. Purpose and Scope of Building Envelope Consulting Services The purpose of our Building Envelope Consulting Services was to develop opinions on the general condition of south facing window wall assembly, to develop opinions regarding the likely source(s) for leakage through or around the window wall, and to develop a recommended repairs we believe would be appropriate. We performed the following services: We visited the site on June 24,2019 to perform our initial review as well as July 11,2019 to review and document with notes and photographs the readily visible portions of the south facing window wall assemblies of Units A and C,as well as portions of the roof flashings above these windows. We performed limited water spray testing on the south facing window wall assembly of Unit C on July 11, 2019. Finally, we accessed the roof from Unit A to observe the window extensions above the roof lines for both Units A and C on July 11,2019. No intrusive test cut examinations were performed; however, existing damages and loose interior trim did permit our observation of water intrusion and portions of the as-built construction of the window wall assembly. We also reviewed the following documents that you provided for our review: • "Aspen Mountain Townhomes Exterior Renovation" Structural Details dated March 31, 2015, denoted as a `Permit Revision' set and produced by KL&A,Inc. • "Aspen Mountain Townhomes Exterior Renovation" Architectural Details dated September 1, 2014, denoted as a '100%Design Development' set and produced by Willis Pember Architects. • "Aspen Mountain Townhomes Exterior Renovation"Architectural Details dated January 15,2015,denoted as a `Permit and Construction Set' and produced by Willis Pember Architects. • Invoice from Probuild to Silver Sage Building Company for the sale of Jeld-Wen Siteline aluminum clad windows for use at the Aspen Mountain Townhomes project dated June 30,2015. We also consulted with Manko Window Systems,Inc. for selection of a replacement window wall assembly as well as Chris Hendrickson of Hendrickson Construction to help develop an Opinion of Probable Construction Costs to replace the south facing window wall assemblies and associated flashings at Units A and C. Aspen Mountain Townhomes Mr.Marley Hodgson August 20,2019 Page 2 of 13 This scope was the limit of our building envelope consulting services. Project Summary The following is a summary of the project: • Aspen Mountain Townhomes is a three unit townhome building that was renovated approximately 5 years ago. The Architect of Record for the renovation was Willis Pember Architects. The general contractor was Silver Sage Builders,which we understand is no longer in business. • The installed windows were reportedly purchased through Pro Builders/Builders First Source. • Water leakage testing was performed by Hendrickson personnel on the windows; however, only very limited water intrusion was observed. • Water leakage appears to be primarily limited to conditions when high ambient temperature changes occur within a short period of time (potentially due to differential expansion and contraction of materials); however, some limited water leakage has occurred at other times. • The interface of the windows to the roofing was previously evaluated by Mr. Rodney Turner of Orion Architectural Systems,Inc.,whom we understand had some flashing repairs made around the windows and the roof of Unit C;however,these were not successful in stopping water leakage into the residence. Observations and Opinions We observed that a `window wall assembly' that is two stories tall is installed on the south elevations of Units A and C(as well as Unit B which was not included within the scope of our services as requested by you). The window walls for each unit consist of a bottom row of four awning(project out)windows,with a row of four picture(fixed lite) windows above the awning windows. These bottom two rows of windows are installed vertically and are located on the first floor. A third row of four picture windows are installed on the second floor and are slightly tilted inward(see Photo 1 below). A simulated extension of these windows is installed above the roof line and is described later in this report. 4` it 111141 • es', Photo 1: South facing window wall assembly Unit C. Photo 2:Water damage @ 1st floor of Unit C windows We accessed the interiors of both Units A and C. Unit C exhibited the greatest amount of interior damages. The following is a summary of some of the interior water damages we observed: Unit C: • Separation of interior trim at a mullion and water stains on the wood frames of the windows (see Photo 2 above). Aspen Mountain Townhomes Alijr- Mr.Marley Hodgson August 20,2019 Page 3 of 13 • Damaged floor trim and water stains at the sill of the 2nd floor windows(see Photo 3 below). • Various water drip stains along the steel beam that runs between the first and second floor. Unit A: • Water stains and curled trim board at the sill of the 2nd floor windows(see Photo 4 below). • Peeling paint and water stains at jamb/head of the 1st floor windows(see Photo 5 below). f► c 1 1111tal lik svc...Tc - ir ................ 14 4" _ , - Photo 3:Water damage @ 2nd floor of Unit C windows Photo 4:Water damage @ 2nd floor of Unit A windows ��� •..

We measured the interior dimensions of various windows and the interior trim for the horizontal mullions was measured to be approximately 2-5/16" wide (see Photo 6 above) and the vertical mullion to be approximately 2- 5/16" wide (see Photo 7 below). This installation is consistent with dimensions associated with mulling without use of a structural support. Figures 1 and 2 below show the mulling options for Jeld-Wen Siteline aluminum clad wood windows for vertical and horizontal installation. The dimensions measured indicate mullions without the 1/4" structural support. The lack of a structural mullion was further evidenced in Unit C with separated trim board that shows that no structural support appears to be provided(see Photo 8 below). Due to the size of the window wall assembly, structurally supported mullions would have been needed and the as- built condition of the field-mulled windows is a significant contributing factor to the water intrusion into the unit and resultant damages.

Aspen Mountain Townhomes Alisr- Mr.Marley Hodgson August 20,2019 Page 9 of 13 We completed our evaluation of the water leakage adjacent to the balconies by performing extensive water testing on the balcony of Unit 407. Water testing can be challenging to identify particular sources for water leakage; however,water testing was performed in a methodical and sequential manner that would help identify sources for water leakage. This generally includes testing locations from low to high, as well as testing the least likely source for water leakage, and then those with the highest likelihood for leakage. It is also common for there to be more than one source for leakage. To that end,water testing was conducted with a water hose and a spray nozzle in the following manner at the balcony of Unit 407 (also see Figure 1 below for locations for water spray testing): • Water spray testing was first conducted at the sill of the windows at the transition with the balcony to the right (west) of a brick veneer wall for approximately 5 minutes (see yellow highlight in Figure 1 below). No water intrusion to the interior of the unit was observed within that time. • Water spray testing was then conducted on the aluminum storefront window on the lowest window pane, gaskets, and aluminum framing for approximately 5 minutes(see orange highlight in Figure 1 below). No water intrusion to the interior of the unit was observed within that time. • Water spray testing was then conducted at the base of the brick veneer wall just above the balcony for approximately 5 minutes(see light green highlight in Figure 1 below). No water intrusion to the interior of the unit was observed within that time. • Water spray testing was then conducted on the brick veneer higher up the wall for approximately 5 minutes (see darker green highlight in Figure 1 below). No water intrusion to the interior of the unit was observed within that time. • Water spray testing was then conducted on the aluminum storefront window and portions of the brick veneer above the first horizontal mullion for the window. After approximately 5 minutes of water testing, water was observed at the level of the carpet on the interior(see Photo 17 below). 5 additional minutes of water testing was performed to aid in our observation of avenues for water intrusion. Water was also observed running down the interior side of aluminum framing,just below the horizontal mullion for the aluminum storefront window(see Photo 18 below). Leakage appeared to occur at the transition between the horizontal mullion and vertical framing at a failed sealant joint. • Water spray testing was then conducted at the base of the aluminum storefront window just left (east) of the brick veneer wall for approximately 10 minutes (see blue highlight in Figure 1 below). No water intrusion to the interior of the unit was observed within this time. • Water spray testing was finally conducted at the exterior door threshold for approximately 1 minute (see purple highlight in Figure 1 below). Water was observed at the existing opening cut in the laminated wood flooring(see Photo 20 below). Aspen Mountain Townhomes ni.....

A metal drip cap flashing appears to be installed between the edge of the roof that extends over the top of the aluminum clad wood windows below (see Photo 19 below). The end of the cap flashing is heavily caulked and likely indicates improper flashing at the transition with the adjacent wall. 1111111040 ir AM 4.11 Photo 19:Cap flashing over 2'floor window unit. Photo 20:End of cap flashing heavily caulked. Based upon these findings, it is our professional opinion that improper windows and flashings were installed at the south facing window walls and that the installation itself was deficient as well. To stop water leakage into the units, the window walls will need to be replaced in their entirety. An aluminum curtain wall or storefront window assembly should be installed as a replacement that complies with the window manufacturer's requirements and local Code. This includes the window extensions above the roof level. While a preliminary scope of repair work has been provided, additional design services will be required to further evaluate as-built conditions with intrusive test cut examinations at wall and roof flashing conditions as well as to develop the flashing and window installation details required for the project. Recommendations and Opinion of Probable Construction Costs(OPCC) The following recommendations are intended to give a general sense of the repairs or replacements we are recommending and are not intended for bid or for construction. Based upon future intrusive examinations planned to be performed to better understand existing conditions, some of the recommendations may be altered; however, the basic scope of work will be similar to that noted below. The recommended scope of work to Units A and C includes,but is not limited to,the following: • Removal of the existing south facing Jeld-Wen aluminum clad window wall assembly. • Removal of the existing south facing window wall extension above the roof line. • Carefully remove adjacent wood siding,store,and reinstalled after new windows are installed and properly flashed. • Install Manko 250 XPT thermally broken aluminum curtain wall window assembly for fixed lites (picture windows)or Equal. See attached data sheet. • Install Manko 4527i thermally broken aluminum project-out awning window at the bottom of the window wall assembly or Equal. See attached data sheet. • Install new roof curb and new flashings to facilitate extension of the window wall assembly above the roof level. Aspen Mountain Townhomes Alisr- Mr.Marley Hodgson August 20,2019 Page 13 of 13 • Reflash windows to existing wall assemblies. In addition,the new window wall assembly and associated wall and roof flashings should be designed by a building envelope consultant. We have included our estimated fees for these services in the opinion of probable construction costs below. An Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) for the repair work we recommend in this report has been prepared in today's dollars. The OPCC is not a bid, nor is it intended to be a guaranteed maximum cost for the recommended repairs. The OPCC is only intended to give the Association a reasonable amount that the repair work recommended might cost. All OPCC dollar amounts are in today's dollars, and no calculations for inflation have been incorporated into the amounts shown. Scope OPCC Remove existing windows and extension above roof. Remove, store and reinstall wood $50,000 siding adjacent window walls. Install new window flashings,roof curb,and roof flashings. Install new Manko 250 XPT and 4527i thermally broken aluminum curtain wall and $48,000 storefront window assemblies (or Equal).
