Sophia Salah

Sophia Salah is a Senior Consulting Engineer with Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc. (SGH) Building Technology group and practices in both the West Coast and New England regions. She enjoys applying lessons learned from investigations and collaborating with contractors and designers to develop functioning air/water/thermal/vapor control layers for building enclosure systems of commercial buildings (office, lab, and life sciences), health care facilities (hospitals and medical offices), and residential-use buildings (senior living and affordable housing). Her expertise lies in building enclosure design and construction for below-grade foundations and plazas, exterior wall opaque systems (rainscreen and barrier), fenestration (curtain wall, storefront, windows), and roofing/waterproofing. She can be reached at sbsalah@sgh.com.
