Will, any suggestions on doing a heat loss scan on a brick building built in the mid 1800s? I'm doing a heat loss survey on it tomorrow, 1st floor is a cafe, 2nd floor 2 two bedroom apartment and the same on the third.

do you use a door blower, that is a required piece of equipment in-order to do a "certified energy evaluation".

If you think this service is BS of the bovine type, say it.
If your jealous, ask about how he's marketing it.
The slurs and innuendos are really counterproductive toward the avenues IR can be used.

I'll call mine Cold Sores and Hot Flashes Investigation if it can sell a job.

With my equipment, cert and PHD (Piled High and Deep) spiel ought to be worth about $400.00 for a few hours work and save my clients money in the long run if advised repairs/retrofits are initiated.

this post will win me a lot of new friends

Will, I have never seen the m?n or whatever it is but I can be pretty sure he's a spineless SOB.

By the way Will, thank you for the advise you gave me over the phone today regarding the IR inspection on the 1800s brick building I have for tomorrow.

Some people help and some don't!!!!!!!

More than an hour?....... Maybe...... A week?....... Never.......

Marcel, It was great to talk to you today about foundations, we really had a good conversation and I enjoyed it.

Maybe that's what missing in his life, he has no one to talk to, or possible he was the kid that always got the crap beat out of him in the school yard and just can't let it go. Either way he has to be the most despicable person I have had the displeasure of conversing with in many years.
