Thermal Imaging (Case 11)

Case Eleven: Leaking Duct work, envelope, and moisture intrusion.
Building Type: Specialized office and manufacturing.
Complaint: Spaces served by VAV boxes struggle to reach heating setpoint.
Type: Tenant comfort, energy.
 
Cause:  Leaking duct work prior to VAV boxes is causing the spaces to over cool.  Lack of design air delivery causes poor VAV box performance.  Poorly performing windows and moisture intrusion compounding the problem.

Who Am I?

I started my HVAC career working for a plumbing and heating contractor in my home town full time and part time during college. Later, working for Trane as a building automation technician, I learned the value of life time client relationships. I feel it is important to incorporate a team environment in every project. This includes the contractors, designers, and owners working towards a common goal of creating lasting, energy efficient, and comfortable buildings. I believe that any building can operate more efficiently, and we should push them as far as possible. With my experience in building automation, contracting, thermal imaging, and commissioning, I am here to do that.
