I have been in the construction industry all my life A The name of the game is to get it up and get it up quickly. I had often wondered how well the fittings held the air in the duct work. I was able to answer that question for myself recently in my company The Emc2 Group. We will do energy evaluations of business and give them recommendations on how to save energy. Primarily we have focused on larger buildings and business because the need was so great. Recently however we have stated to offer this on a residential scale as well. Part of our offering is to walk through the home with an infrared camera to look for places were heat or ac is being lost. No surprise the heat loss around the joints is very evident.
