Case study
Targeted leakage location using stressed thermography
A comfort complaint investigation that identified likely leakage pathways and guided practical corrective work.
Context
- Project type: Existing home
- Stage: Occupied
- Primary goal: Identify leakage pathways contributing to comfort issues
The problem
The homeowner reported persistent drafts and inconsistent comfort in key rooms.
Our approach
- Stress-assisted thermal investigation (conditions permitting)
- Focus on transitions, penetrations, and common leakage locations
- Findings framed as actionable next steps (not speculation)
What we delivered
- Photo-referenced findings summary
- Priority corrections list
- Notes on where to focus air sealing and verification
Outcome
The homeowner received a targeted action plan to guide corrective work, avoiding a broad “seal everything” approach.
Next steps
Contractor air sealing focused on priority locations, then verification to confirm improvement.
