Two Decades of Building Performance Analysis
Founded in 2004 when thermal imaging technology transitioned from industrial applications to building diagnostics, we've maintained focus on measurement precision and analytical rigor.
Founded in 2004 when thermal imaging technology transitioned from industrial applications to building diagnostics, we've maintained focus on measurement precision and analytical rigor.
Building science advances when measurement capabilities improve. Early thermal cameras offered 160x120 pixel resolution. Current instrumentation delivers 640x480 arrays with 0.02°C sensitivity, revealing thermal patterns previously invisible.
This technological evolution parallels our methodological development. Initial audits focused on envelope defects. Contemporary assessments integrate envelope performance, mechanical system efficiency, ventilation adequacy, and occupant comfort into unified diagnostic frameworks.
We invest in calibration protocols, comparative databases, and continuous education because accurate diagnosis precedes effective intervention.
FLIR T1K thermal cameras, Retrotec blower door systems, TSI airflow meters, and Fluke power quality analyzers provide measurement precision across thermal, pressure, and electrical domains.
EnergyPlus modeling, TRACE 3D Plus load calculations, and custom Python analytics process field data into actionable performance insights.
Team credentials include Building Performance Institute certifications, RESNET HERS ratings, and Passive House consultant designations.
All measurements follow documented procedures with instrument calibration records, environmental condition logging, and photographic documentation of test setup configurations.
Energy efficiency recommendations carry financial implications. Inaccurate diagnostics lead to misdirected capital expenditure. We prioritize measurement accuracy over rapid assessments.
Each audit undergoes internal peer review. Thermal images are analyzed by multiple technicians. Modeling assumptions are documented and justified against published research.
This deliberate approach extends project timelines but delivers defensible conclusions that withstand scrutiny from engineers, lenders, and regulatory reviewers.
