Press Release Summary = Infrared technology is now being used to detect heat loss in homes and buildings.
Press Release Body = Roof Consultants, Inc. has preformed infrared moisture surveys on millions of square feet of low sloped roofing in the past and now is offering infrared inspection services to homeowners.
With the cost of home heating increasing daily and the unexpected cold weather in the Midwest the thermography will detect for homeowners where their energy dollars are literally leaking out of their homes.
Thermography is the use of an infrared imaging and measurement camera to \"see\" and \"measure\" thermal energy emitted from an object.
Thermal, or infrared energy is light that is not visible to the human eye; it\'s part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Unlike visible light, in the infrared world, everything with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat.
Al Kravitz, President and Senior inspector with RCI has performed dozens of home inspections since completing Level 1 training from Snell Infrared, one of the worlds foremost authorities on infrared sciences.
Kravitz has been able to show homeowners where they had leaking windows and doors, missing insulation, poor ventilation, and even leaks in their ductwork.
With a simple low cost inspection building owners can save hundreds of dollars on their heating and cooling bills by implementing minor repairs to deficient areas detected by the infrared camera.
