David,

Nice site, but I noticed two errors that you might want to fix.

1. Add in some examples: keep the reader interested: embed video: pictures of leaks or construction deficiencies. No IR at this point.

2. Insulation resists heat transfer as well as air leakage if installed properly.

I would remove #1 and change the text in #2. Insulation is not an air barrier. I would inform your readers that air sealing prior to adding additional insulation is more cost effective.

Just my 2 cents

Kevin

Done: As you can see I didn't follow my own directions!

2. Insulation resists heat transfer as well as air leakage if installed properly.

Are you talking about the pictures?
Those are just holding a place. I'm moving them and adding this am.


Just my 2 cents

I thank you sincerely!
This is a work in progress! I changed a few things late last night and "made a bunch of formatting wrong", got tired and quit!
I was in a bit of a rush to get this on the web. I did make it from the bottom of Pg#2 to Pg#1, #3by this morning!

Please check back again as this progresses and hold my feet to the fire!



Kevin

Anyone have a real good "Out the window" IR scan from the exterior (that they took)?

OK, I'm done messing with this page for now.
Please check with your browser. I use Chrome.

you might want to use the google keyword tool for your title bar. I am just guessing and didn't look, but I doubt IR is searched all the much. I would think "infrared" would be more searched.

Jason, This is my IR site. I'm adding on to it.

May consider a new site once I get things on the ground.

Your correct though, however I do get many calls for energy audits off the IR part of the site, may get more if I change though!

Thanks!

Nice site.

Might want to ensure that the building is operating as intended unless you really are planning to insure it


Your site reads that fixing leaking windows is a good investment. Do you mean that you are going to air seal them? or replace them?. If you're replacing them, I would disagree and say that the payback on replacing windows takes a long time.

Fixed! Thanks...

Window replacement improves on some leakage if the windows are crap, and better glass can increase U-Values...

"but in reality window-to-frame leaks are the greatest losses we find during our evaluations".

Then I have a pic with the frame leaking bad!

Should I say window replacement is a wast of money?
That is what I was trying to slide in there!

I misunderstood what you were trying to say. I agree with your meaning, I'm just not sure if it's what I read on the site.... food for thought.
