Populus is your one-stop shop for HERS Rating services. While your project is still a pile of plans, we walk you through the requirements of mandatory and optional green building programs. During construction, we offer services to keep you on the right track, such as infrared thermography and air-infiltration testing while the insulation is being installed. As your project reaches completion, Populus provides the third-party measurement and testing that you need to verify your project’s performance.
It’s not unusual for a new home to leak out all of its conditioned air about once every three hours, costing hundreds of dollars per year to heat the backyard. Using sensitive diagnostic tools, Populus can help you find those energy-wasting leaks, wherever they may be hiding. During the construction process, Populus can assist by identifying potential vulnerabilities in the building envelope before the drywall is installed and it’s too late. In addition, we can perform a room-by-room airflow analysis to determine whether sufficient heating and cooling is delivered to every part of the house.
Let our infrared camera do the talking. With infrared thermography, Populus can help you to identify weaknesses in the building’s thermal envelope that are invisible to the naked eye.
