BUILDING DIAGNOSTICS

I take pictures of interesting things I see in buildings.

I have a special page for icicles and snow melt patterns

Todays Delights


Vent that you don't

This is one of those things that can get your heart pumping when you walk into a room. What's really interesting is that the space it was in is so leaky that it passed the combustion safety test easily.


Dirty lint trap

If you let your lint trap get this dirty the clothes will dry slowly, you will waste a lot of energy and the dryer will run hotter; all bad things.

Hole in the siding

Just a rule of thumb, if you take something out of a hole in the building you should really fix the hole. This had a piece of paper taped over the inside.

Bad insulation

This pretty well defines "Thermal Bypass".

Amazing conglomeration

There are so many things wrong in this picture I don't know where to begin. Maybe I'll go have a bite at the fancy restaurant below these ceiling tiles...

(HINT: Insulation does not go on top of suspended ceilings!)

Ice is falling on my head...

Icicles can be quite beautiful, but they don't belong on buildings.

Someone on a ladder chopping ice off a roof.

I will not name the person on the ladder, but I did take the picture. Paying someone to airseal and insulate is SO much better.
