ZWS uses Thermal Imaging to perform home performance and building envelope investigations. The goal of the investigations is to locate areas of heat exfiltration and heat infiltration. For optimum results, there should be a twenty (20) degree Fahrenheit temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the building. This can usually be achieved by altering the interior temperature.
The most common reasons for heat to leave or enter a building include:
- Poor construction
- Missing or inadequate insulation
- Broken window seals
- Moisture intrusion
- Air leakage (#1 cause of heat loss)
