Visual Assessment: We will examine the insulation and look for signs of damage, wear and tear, compression, settling, or displacement of insulation material.
Measurement and Verification: We use tools such as thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, or borescopes to assess insulation effectiveness and identify any moisture problems or air leaks that may compromise insulation performance.
Check for Code Compliance: We ensure that your insulation meets local building codes and standards for energy efficiency. This includes checking insulation thickness, R-values (thermal resistance), and installation methods.
Identification of Insulation Type: We identify the type of insulation material currently installed (e.g., fiberglass batts, cellulose, spray foam) and evaluate its condition and adequacy for the building’s needs.
Assessment of Air Leakage: We can assess air leakage points, such as gaps around windows, doors, electrical outlets, and plumbing penetrations. Proper sealing of these areas is crucial for maximizing insulation effectiveness.
Energy Efficiency Evaluation: We consider the overall energy efficiency of the building based on insulation levels and potential improvements. We provide recommendations on upgrading insulation to reduce energy consumption and improve comfort.
