The Building Performance Group conducts Home Performance Inspections using infrared cameras and blower-door testing equipment to determine air-leakage. If you have rooms in your home that are warmer or colder than other areas, then you may want to call or email Eric George to have an energy audit done on your home.  BuildingPerformanceGroup@gmail.com or (502)216-2731

 

 

ir_0409ir_0404Here are pictures of my bathroom with the blower-door running and using the IR camera, Eric was able to locate many areas of air leakage throughout the house. The pictures clearly show these areas and are annotated to provide a clearer understanding of what they reveal. These cold areas are caused because the framed walls have cavities that are open into the attic above. Even though there is fiberglass insulation installed, this material does not stop air movement, and the effectiveness of the insulation is completely diminished.

    Nice! I’d love to see the difference in comfort, air-tightness, and utility bills after those problems get fixed!
