Go Green with Thermal Imaging

From FLIR

Going Green seems to be the "buzz word" today, but what does that have to do with Thermal Imaging? Actually, it has a lot to do with it! Buildings in the U.S. alone account for 39% of U.S. Energy Consumption and another 29% to Industry. The U.S. Department of Energy attributes heating and cooling costs as 40-60% of that bill and an inefficient home simply causes the heating and cooling systems to work harder. In fact, it is stated that one-third of all heat loss in a building is due to air leakage. Thermal imaging allows us to see what our eyes cannot (air infiltration, duct leakage, plumbing leaks, roof leaks etc.) and when used in conjunction with other tools like a Door-Fan, also known as a Blower door, you can't help but see where all that wasted energy is going. It is our intent, with this paper, to show you the many ways you can help your clients "Go Green with Thermal Imaging".
